Air conditioning across PO1: what to expect
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. 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 before you get a fixed-price quote. Typical jobs include a business premises that overheats in summer and a study or office that overheats during the day, on wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems.
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- 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 PO1: local notes
Planning rules are the same across England, PO1 included: cooling-only units aren’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
PO1 is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. One phone number covers all of it. PO1 includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of outdoor coils and fixings. We choose positions and fixings with that in mind.
Landport: Older streets near Church of All Saints may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. If you commute from Portsmouth & Southsea station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed.
Aftercare tips
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never run the system with the filters out
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
- File the paperwork with the manual
Questions after the installation go to the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display and we will help you sort it out.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
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 affect whether planning permission is needed. We agree it with you on the survey.
Comparing quotes
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in PO1
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- What electrical work the job needs
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What kind of system it is
- How many units are involved
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Your questions about air conditioning in PO1
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
How long will the installation take?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access and the quote says how long to expect.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
It depends on the rooms, the system and the pipe route, but a single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, and commercial systems are priced after a survey.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
