Air conditioning across SO50: what to expect
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Common call-outs are for portable units that are noisy and barely cope and a business premises that overheats in summer, on VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access, and we clear up before we go.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- 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.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.

Air conditioning around SO50
From Eastleigh, Allbrook and Boyatt Wood outwards, SO50 has every kind of home. We survey every property before we quote.
Message us from anywhere in SO50 and you will hear back the same working day. Breakdowns can go to the 24/7 line instead.
Eastleigh: With historic houses such as South Stoneham House about 2.5 miles south-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Around Church of the Resurrection, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
What happens if it’s left?
For homeowners, timing can matter for VAT: installing energy-saving materials in residential accommodation is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts and we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in SO50
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- How easy the units are to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
For air conditioning in SO50, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few photos if you can. We reply the same working day.
Owner checks or an engineer?
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Signs you need air conditioning
Some people come to us for heating rather than cooling. Old direct electric heaters turn electricity straight into heat, while a heat pump moves heat in from the outside air, which means more heat out than electricity in. Most modern split systems work this way.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- A system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement
SO50: your questions answered
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do I need planning permission?
Sometimes. Heat pumps and cooling-only units are treated differently, and so are flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We flag anything that may need permission when we survey, and the council has the final say. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
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 and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours, and the position can affect planning.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation and is fixed after a survey or from photos.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Most of the time, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
