What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. If a lane or gateway near Upton Grey is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Upton Grey
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Where the outdoor unit goes decides how quiet and tidy the job is: airflow, noise towards neighbours, pipe length and access for servicing all count.
Villages like Upton Grey often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

What an install looks like in Upton Grey
The last census (2021) found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind. If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Mary, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

Upton Grey questions
Will air conditioning in Upton Grey need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Upton Grey Conservation Area takes in the middle of Upton Grey. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Basingstoke and Deane council, which is typically the planning authority for Upton Grey.
Can you do air conditioning in Upton Grey?
We do: Upton Grey falls inside our working area. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Usually, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have 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.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
Questions after the installation go to the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display and we will help you sort it out.
Use sensible settings. Choose the right mode and a comfortable temperature rather than the lowest setting, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.

What the work involves, system by system
Multi-split systems
Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The pipe routes to each room make the biggest difference to the price.
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and small commercial rooms. We choose the position for even airflow and easy filter access, and away from where the air would blow straight onto people.
What owners can safely do
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
