Home Air Conditioning Installation

Designed for Your Home, Fitted by Our Own Engineers

Our team designs and installs air conditioning for homes across Lancashire, Cumbria, Merseyside and Greater Manchester. Every unit is sized for the room it serves and fitted by our own engineers, never subcontractors.

As a guide, one room typically starts from around £2,500 and multi-room systems usually range from £5,000 to £10,000+. We give you a clear written quote after a free survey.

We are not the cheapest installer, and our diary usually runs several weeks ahead, especially in early summer. If you want a system that is planned properly and built to last, we would be very happy to help.

Air Conditioning for Every Type of Home

Each type of house warms up in its own way, so we plan every system around the property.

Terraced Houses

Space at the back is often tight. The outdoor unit usually goes on the rear wall or in the yard, with the pipework run neatly to the room it serves.

Semis, Detached Homes and Loft Conversions

The hottest room is often a back bedroom or a loft room under the roof. One wall-mounted unit usually solves it, and a multi-split can cover several rooms from one outdoor unit.

New-Build Homes

New houses hold heat well, which helps in winter but can make them uncomfortable in a warm spell. Since 2022, building regulations have included rules on overheating in new homes.

Flats and Apartments

Fitting an outdoor unit normally needs agreement from the freeholder or management company. We can provide the details they need.

Garden Offices and Extensions

Rooms the central heating never quite reaches can be cooled in summer and heated in winter by the same system. See our garden office air conditioning page.

Common Problems We Solve

  • Sleepless Summer Nights

    Bedrooms that stay warm long after sunset make it hard to sleep.

    A quiet wall-mounted unit brings the temperature down quickly.

  • Overheating Loft Rooms

    Rooms directly under the roof are often the hottest in the house.

    Air conditioning makes them usable on even the warmest days.

  • Cold Extensions

    Extensions and conservatories that the central heating never quite reaches.

    The same system provides efficient heating through the winter.

Choosing a System

  • Wall-Mounted Split

    One indoor unit and one outdoor unit, sized for a single room.

    Good for: a bedroom, loft room or home office.

  • Multi-Split

    Several indoor units connected to one outdoor unit.

    Good for: homes where two or more rooms need cooling, with less equipment outside.

How Much Does Home Air Conditioning Cost?

We quote every home individually after a survey. As a guide, for a system supplied and installed:

  • One room: from around £2,500, for one indoor unit and one outdoor unit

  • Several rooms: typically £5,000 to £10,000+, usually running from one outdoor unit

The price depends on the number of rooms, the size of each room, the pipe route, where the outdoor unit goes, the brand and model, and the electrical work. Our guide to air conditioning costs in the UK explains each one.

Running costs are lower than most people expect. A typical single-room unit uses around 0.5 to 0.9kW at full output: roughly 13p to 24p an hour at the October to December 2026 price cap, and often less than 10p an hour once the room is comfortable.

  • The dedicated electrical supply most systems need, checked at the survey

  • Testing, set-up and a handover of the controls

Your written quote lists exactly what is included, so there are no surprises on the day.

How Your Installation Works

  1. Free survey. We visit your home, measure each room and check the walls, pipe route, outdoor unit position and electrics.

  2. Design and written quote. We size each unit for its room, agree the positions with you and send a clear written quote.

  3. Booking. Our diary usually runs several weeks ahead, especially in early summer, so it pays to book early.

  4. Installation day. Our engineers fit the indoor and outdoor units, run the pipework as neatly as the building allows, and connect the drainage and electrics.

  5. Testing and handover. We test the system, set it up and show you how to use the controls.

  6. Aftercare. We recommend a service every year, or twice a year if you use the system for heating. See our air conditioning servicing page.

Brands We Install

We install systems from Mitsubishi Electric, Toshiba, Panasonic, Fujitsu, LG and Samsung. Higher-specification models cost more, but can be quieter and more efficient. We recommend only what each room needs.

If looks matter, designer models can blend into the room. See the best-looking air conditioning units and our LG ARTCOOL Gallery installation.

Heating as Well as Cooling

Most systems we install for homes heat as well as cool. Instead of creating heat directly, they move heat from the outside air into the room, delivering around three to four units of heat for every unit of electricity. Read more about air conditioning as an efficient form of heating.

Do I Need Planning Permission?

For most houses in England, no. Since May 2025, a single system that heats and cools can usually be installed under permitted development, as long as conditions such as noise limits are met. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently. Our planning permission guide explains the rules.

Home Air Conditioning FAQs

How much does it cost to install air conditioning in a house?

One room typically starts from around £2,500, and multi-room systems usually range from £5,000 to £10,000+. We confirm the exact price in a written quote after a free survey.

How long does installation take?

Most single-room systems are fitted in a day. Multi-room systems take longer, and we confirm the timing in your quote.

How soon can you fit it?

Our diary usually runs several weeks ahead, especially in early summer. Booking your survey in spring gives you the widest choice of dates.

What size system do I need?

It depends on the room size, windows, insulation and how the space is used. Bigger is not always better: an oversized unit switches on and off more often and is less efficient. We calculate the right size for each room at the survey.

Where does the outdoor unit go?

Usually on the ground or on wall brackets against an outside wall, as close to the indoor unit as practical. Flat roofs and higher positions are possible but can add time. We agree the position with you at the survey.

Is it noisy?

Modern indoor units run quietly enough for bedrooms. Inverter systems also slow down once the room reaches temperature, which keeps both noise and running costs down.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every installation is carried out by our own engineers.

Can you install in a flat?

Often, yes. The key steps are getting the building owner’s consent and finding a suitable outdoor unit position, such as a balcony, roof or rear wall. We will talk you through the options.
