For landlords and property managers
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Stone
Across Stone, every installation follows the same steps: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. Most enquiries from Stone start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
For a home in or near Stone, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

What an install looks like in Stone
At about 1 mile from the coast, Stone is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that won’t rust. Census 2021 figures found about 78% 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.
Homes near St Francis are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. With historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House about 4.4 miles north-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Stone is about 3 miles north-west of Cowes, in Hampshire. Properties in Stone get the same service as everywhere we cover: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end. Our list for Hampshire has 683 entries, and Stone is one. The nearest of our city pages is Worthing, around 42 miles from Stone.

The process
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. For a place like Stone, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about parking and loading

Advice

What else we do in Stone
Your questions about air conditioning in Stone
Is Stone within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Stone?
It can. Stone is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
How do you size the system?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Most of the time, yes: modern splits are usually heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust points out that an air-to-air heat pump is often just called air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
What affects the cost of air conditioning
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
