About air conditioning in OX13

Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Send a few photos of the rooms and the outside walls when you call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we’ll reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are rooms heated by plug-in heaters and too many options and no clear advice.

Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.

  1. We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
  2. Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
  3. Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
  4. Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
  5. We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.

How we quote

One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Air conditioning across OX13: local notes

Our air conditioning work across OX13 takes in places such as Caldecott, Kingston Bagpuize and Marcham and the smaller places around them. Every place on our OX13 list (18 in all) is covered.

Refrigerant work is done by F-gas qualified engineers for a certified company, and the electrics come under our NICEIC approval, in OX13 as everywhere else.

Kingston Bagpuize: Living close to Church of St John the Baptist? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. Longworth House, about 1.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

Owner checks or an engineer?

For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so here are the limits:

  • Building damp that has a structural cause
  • Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
  • Central heating repairs

Pricing air conditioning in OX13

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
  • The brand, model and parts involved
  • How easy the units are to reach
  • The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units

Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

What to send for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • The make and model of the system, from the label
  • A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
  • Where the property is and what kind of building it is
  • The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area

Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Keeping the system healthy

A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Shut doors and windows when it’s on
  • Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
  • File the paperwork with the manual
  • Book an annual service

We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, or as the manual recommends, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.

Do not ignore small changes. Water from the indoor unit, a new rattle or a code on the display normally means something needs attention and catching it early keeps the repair small.

FAQs for OX13

Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?

The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.

How long does it take to fit air conditioning?

It takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Can I do the refrigerant work myself?

The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.

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, with a fixed price before work starts.
