How air conditioning works in PO17
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, while a two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation are all included, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are commercial rooms that are too warm for staff and working from home in a room that gets too warm.
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.

Air conditioning across PO17: local notes
Our air conditioning work across PO17 takes in places such as Portchester, Wickham and Wallington and the smaller places around them. Every place on our PO17 list (19 in all) is covered.
Refrigerant work is done by F-gas qualified engineers for a certified company, while NICEIC approval covers the electrical work, in PO17 as everywhere else. In the coastal parts of PO17, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.
Wickham: Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start. Older streets near Church of St Nicholas may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
For landlords and property managers
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
What the work involves, system by system
Pipework and condensate drains
After the pipework is fitted, the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated, so the system starts life clean, dry and leak-tight. The results go into the commissioning records.
Multi-split systems
With a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves two or more rooms. It’s a neat answer when space outside is limited and several rooms need it and each indoor unit has its own controls.
Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: 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.
Signs you need air conditioning
Most overheating comes from heat gained through the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and the heat lingers long after the sun has moved round.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- Too many options and no clear advice
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
PO17: your questions answered
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, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We will tell you what to check before we fit it.
Do you work in PO17?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, PO17 included.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: 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 units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
