Air conditioning installation in Wokingham
Supply, installation and commissioning of air conditioning for homes and businesses, from one room to a whole building, in Wokingham and nearby. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll reply the same working day.
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- An old system that needs replacing
- An office, shop or restaurant that is uncomfortable for staff and customers
What happens on the day
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Wokingham.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Air conditioning in Wokingham, done properly
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, while a two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Those ranges include supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, in Wokingham it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
In Wokingham, most installs are one or two bedrooms and a home office, or a living room that catches the afternoon sun. A single split suits one room, and a multi-split runs two to five rooms from one outdoor unit, so there’s less on the outside wall.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Common questions in Wokingham
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Wokingham?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. A conservation area takes in the middle of Wokingham. 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 the planning department at Wokingham council, typically the authority for Wokingham.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning in Wokingham?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
We agree it with you on the survey. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We’ll tell you what to check before we fit it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
What air conditioning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Central heating repairs
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Ducted systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps

Air conditioning in Wokingham: local notes
About 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. 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.
If you commute from Wokingham station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed. Around Church of St Paul, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wokingham
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Wokingham. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and small commercial rooms. The unit goes where it spreads the air well and the filters are easy to reach, and away from where the air would blow straight onto people.
Outdoor unit positions
We think about noise when we choose the spot: away from bedroom windows and neighbours’ windows where possible, and on anti-vibration mounts. Position can also affect planning.
A customer’s words
“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.”
