How we handle air conditioning in The Holt
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. People searching for “air con near me” in The Holt want two things: a sensible price and someone qualified. We publish typical prices and do the refrigerant work as an F-Gas certified company.
Villages like The Holt often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to The Holt easier.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for The Holt
Is The Holt in your area for air conditioning?
Yes, The Holt is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will you come out to The Holt?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
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 landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Allow 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 you can plan around it.

How we price air conditioning
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
If you need air conditioning in The Holt, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some pictures if they’re to hand. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
What we’re called out for in The Holt
Most overheating comes from heat gained through the day. Sunshine through glazing, especially on south and west-facing rooms, adds a lot of heat, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- An old system that needs replacing
Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are typically the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start.

Air conditioning around The Holt
About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split. The centre of The Holt lies within a conservation area. In the mile around The Holt’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 18 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of The Holt; Oak Cottage (grade II) is one. 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 is not covered at all, so we check with the local planning authority (usually Wokingham council) where necessary.
With historic houses such as Harleyford Manor about 3.9 miles north, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
