About air conditioning in OX3
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, two rooms on a multi-split £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, with commercial and VRF systems priced after a survey. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a room that’s unbearable on warm days and old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient.
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Central heating repairs
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
After we’ve gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
The handover includes the records you need: F-Gas records, commissioning details and the manufacturer’s warranty terms. Keep them with the manual, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.
Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
Why act early?
Where the outdoor unit goes matters to you and to the neighbours. Placing it well keeps noise away from bedrooms and boundaries and makes servicing easier, and it can make a difference to planning. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
Let and managed properties
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
FAQs for OX3
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
From £1,200 + VAT for a single-room split, with a typical range of £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. That covers supply, installation, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork and is fixed after a survey or from pictures.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
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 explain the options and any permissions to check.
