Our air conditioning service in OX16
Air conditioning isn’t only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. The work covers multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are a home office that warms up with screens and equipment and portable units that are noisy and barely cope.
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- 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.
What affects the price in OX16
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Around Banbury
In Banbury, that means homes and buildings near Saint Paul's, People's Park and St Mary's Church of England Primary School, among other places. You’ll also find English Language Training (0.5 miles south-east), Duke of Wellington pub (under half a mile north) and Banbury Academy (0.9 miles south). Banbury’s nearest station is Banbury station, roughly 0.8 miles east. Nearby you’ll also find Castle Quay Shopping Centre (0.5 miles east) and Banbury Castle (0.5 miles east). The countryside around Banbury includes Crouch Hill and Farthinghoe Nature Reserve.
Air conditioning across OX16
From Banbury, Neithrop and Grimsbury outwards, OX16 has every kind of home. We survey every property before we quote, then a fixed-price quote.
Across London and the South East, we reply to enquiries the same working day, with a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Banbury: Around Saint Paul's, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install. Close to Banbury station? A small study or box room used for work can typically be cooled with a single indoor unit.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Report drips, noises or error codes right away
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
Questions after the installation go to the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display, and we’ll talk it through with you.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air conditioning will not do:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
Signs you need air conditioning
Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. An open window does not always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, especially on a still night.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749.
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.
Questions from OX16
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
Not necessarily. On a house, air-to-water heat pumps and, since 2025, air-to-air systems that heat as well as cool can be permitted development if they meet the conditions. Cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing spots in conservation areas are where it normally comes up, and we tell you at the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
Will you need to do electrical work?
In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
How do you size the system?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
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.
