About our air conditioning in Wigmore
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. A lot of the calls we get from Wigmore are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. That is usually a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
Most installations here are a wall-mounted indoor unit, a short pipe run through the wall and an outdoor unit on the back or side of the property, with the condensate drained away safely.
Around Wigmore, older cottages and newer houses can be very different to work on. Thick walls and beams mean planning the pipe route carefully, and a listed home needs consent before anything is fixed to it.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
One ducted unit can serve more than one room through separate ducts and grilles, which suits new builds, extensions and refurbishments where ceilings are open.
Pipework and condensate drains
Air conditioning takes moisture out of the air when it cools, and the condensate drain carries it away. Where it cannot fall naturally to a drain, a condensate pump lifts it and we allow for that in the quote.
What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
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.
FAQs for Wigmore
Do you cover smaller places like Wigmore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Wigmore?
It can, as Wigmore is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
How do I know what size unit to get?
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 have chosen a particular output.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Which type of system should I choose?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.

Air conditioning in Wigmore: local notes
Wigmore lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that won’t rust. VOA council tax data date about 48% of homes in Wigmore and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Restoration House (roughly 4.4 miles north-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on. Around St Paul's Church, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
