About air conditioning in OX12
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Typical jobs include an old system that needs replacing and working from home in a room that gets too warm, across VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.

Air conditioning across OX12: local notes
In OX12, we install in places such as Wantage, Grove and Charlton and well beyond. We cover every place we list for OX12, 21 in all.
An F-Gas certified company does the refrigerant side, while NICEIC approval covers the electrical work, in OX12 as everywhere else.
Wantage: Older streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.
Why it fails
Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, which is why a loft bedroom can still be warm at bedtime.
Look out for these signs:
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
If anything is not right after we’ve gone, call us on 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. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
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. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
FAQs for OX12
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do I need planning permission?
It can do. Heat pumps and cooling-only units are treated differently, and so are flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We flag anything that may need permission when we survey, and the council has the final say. This is general information, not legal advice.
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 written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
