About our air conditioning in Steventon
Across Steventon, every installation follows the same steps: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. You know the price before work begins and the paperwork is in your hands when we finish. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Steventon it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Villages like Steventon often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. We check that first, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Common problems we fix in Steventon
Some people come to us for heating rather than cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, which means more heat out than electricity in. That’s how most modern split systems work.
Common reasons people call us include:
- An old system that needs replacing
- Expensive direct electric heating
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed.
What your quote should include
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
FAQs for Steventon
Will you come out to Steventon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Steventon need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Steventon Conservation Area, close to central Steventon. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Vale of White Horse council, which is typically the planning authority for Steventon.
How do you size the system?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy, so we explain why we’ve chosen a particular output.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Normally, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Central heating repairs
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Steventon.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Before we arrive
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Air conditioning around Steventon
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 36% of homes across Steventon and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes normally have cavity walls and loft space that make pipe runs easier, though some estates have planning conditions or covenants worth checking. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
