Air conditioning installation in Selborne
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see, and we explain the options on the survey. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
A typical install in Selborne is an indoor unit high on an outside wall, a neat pipe run and an outdoor unit on a bracket or ground pad, with the drain run planned so it never drips where it shouldn’t.
Around Selborne, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Your questions about air conditioning in Selborne
Do you cover smaller places like Selborne?
Yes. Selborne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can you do air conditioning in Selborne?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Selborne is part of that. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few pictures.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision and position can affect planning.
How do you size the system?
Floor area is only part of it. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
It takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
In many cases, but permissions come first. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls, so check the lease. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Let filters dry fully before you put them back
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer so you know how to get the best from it.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Selborne can be planned properly.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Air conditioning around Selborne
The middle of Selborne is part of the Selborne Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 41 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary (grade I). That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with the planning team at East Hampshire council, which typically handles Selborne where necessary. Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start. Living close to Church of St Mary? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
Selborne is about 4 miles south of Alton, in Hampshire. From the centre of Selborne to the outskirts, our engineers cover air conditioning, from a single room to a whole building. Selborne is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for homes and businesses. Guildford, roughly 19 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Not far from Selborne, a recent job of ours was on Petworth Road, Haslemere (GU27), about 10 miles east: installing a Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system serving the master bedroom, two further bedrooms and the basement games room. See the job
All of GU34 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Huckers Lane, Ganders Close and Selborne Road and the roads off them are all inside our area. We also cover Newton Valence (1 mile west), Empshott (2 miles south-east), Lower Green (3 miles south), Hawkley (3 miles south) and Oakshott (4 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (13 miles north-west), Fleet (13 miles north), Horndean (14 miles south) and Aldershot (13 miles north-east).
Around Selborne
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The Jubilee Tap, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Alton station, roughly 3.8 miles north. Well-known places in the area include The Romany Museum (under half a mile south-east) and Alton Community Hospital (3.5 miles north-west). Not far away are Selborne Hill and Deadwater Valley.
Why act early in Selborne
Refrigerant rules have changed what new systems use. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg can’t use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. R410A, used in many older systems, has a GWP of 2088. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
