How air conditioning works in RG12
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 ceiling cassettes, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are an office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers and rooms heated by plug-in heaters.
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- 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 RG12
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Getting a price
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, phone us on 07833 053749.

Air conditioning across RG12: local notes
From Bracknell, Wick Hill and Priestwood outwards, RG12 has every kind of home. Each install starts with a survey of the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote.
Refrigerant work is done by F-gas qualified engineers for a certified company, while NICEIC approval covers the electrical work, in RG12 as everywhere else.
Bracknell: Plenty of people near Bracknell station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Living close to Holy Trinity Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
What we’re called out for in RG12
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- A room that’s unbearable on warm days
What the work involves, system by system
Electrical supply
Most systems need their own circuit from the consumer unit. We are NICEIC approved, so we fit and certify the circuit ourselves, which takes care of the Part P notification.
Pipework and condensate drains
Cooling produces water as the air is dried, and the condensate drain carries it away. Where it cannot fall naturally to a drain, a condensate pump lifts it, and we plan that on the survey.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Let filters dry fully before you put them back
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
The filters are the one part you’ll look after yourself, so we show you how. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, or as the manual recommends, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans what you cannot reach and picks up faults before they stop the system, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
Common questions in RG12
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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. 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 long will the installation take?
It takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Normally, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
