Air conditioning in CM23

About air conditioning in CM23

Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain, all before the price is fixed. We’re often asked to deal with an old system that needs replacing and fans and portables that don’t keep up, across VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.

Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.

1. We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
2. You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
3. The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
4. Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
5. Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.

What you’ll pay

What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:

• Avoid setting it far colder than you need
• Shut doors and windows when it’s on
• Let filters dry fully before you put them back
• Leave space around the outdoor unit

Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer so you know how to get the best from it.

Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.

What affects the cost of air conditioning

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

• The size of the job
• The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
• What electrical work the job needs
• Access, including height, roofs and ladders

Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

What to send for a quote:

• The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
• The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
• Where the property is and what kind of building it is
• Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
