Can I have ducted air conditioning installed in my home?

We would not advise any customer to get ducted air conditioning in your home. Instead, we tend to install wall-mounted AC Units. This is simply because, on inspection of most homes and businesses in Newcastle, the houses are not suited for ducted air conditioning, and the property would require a lot more work to modify the ceilings and walls to allow for ducted units/vents.

How much does it cost for air conditioning in a home?

Air conditioning costs anywhere from £1800-£9000. It depends on the size of your home and the amount of air conditioning units you require.

How much is an air conditioning service?

An air conditioning service costs £85 Plus VAT.

How much is a diagnostic call out?

If you have a problem with your air conditioning unit and require our engineer to do a call-out to diagnose what is wrong, then a diagnostic call-out would cost £85 Plus VAT. Any parts or further labour beyond the diagnostic would cost more.

What Size Air Conditioner Do I Need?

The size of the air conditioner you need is determined by the square footage of the area to be cooled, ceiling height, insulation quality, and local climate conditions.

What Type of Air Conditioner Should I Choose?

Your choice of air conditioner type should be based on the size of the space, your cooling needs, budget, and whether your home has existing ductwork or not. Most UK homes only require external walls where a wall mounted unit can be placed.

How Often Should I Service My Air Conditioner?

The frequency of air conditioner servicing is recommended to be at least once a year to ensure efficiency and prevent breakdowns.

Can I Install an Air Conditioner Myself?

Whether you can install an air conditioner yourself depends on the type of unit and your level of technical skill and experience with electrical systems, you also require an F-Gas Certification to be able to buy a unit or the gas required. You would void any warranty or house insurance if it is not installed by an F-Gas Registered Engineer.

What Is SEER Rating and Why Does It Matter?

The SEER rating of an air conditioner indicates its energy efficiency, with higher SEER ratings signifying more efficient energy use and potentially lower utility bills.

How Long Does an Air Conditioning Unit Typically Last?

The lifespan of an air conditioning unit typically ranges between 10 to 20 years, depending on the model, usage, and maintenance.

How Can I Make My Air Conditioning More Efficient?

Making your air conditioning more efficient can be achieved by regular maintenance, using programmable thermostats, and improving home insulation.

The government is currently offering a go green initiative that will give you a VAT saving on any residential installation of an air source heat pump, wall-mounted air conditioning units that match the requirements needed for this saving.

How Can Air Conditioning Support a Healthier Home

In addition to health, many people also ask how modern units can help with energy savings.

How Do Modern Systems Help Save on Energy Bills

Modern air conditioning systems help reduce energy bills by using inverter technology and smart temperature controls. These features allow the system to adjust power use based on the room’s needs, using less energy while still keeping you comfortable. Compact, efficient systems are now available for a wide range of properties.

Can You Install Air Conditioning in Apartments or Smaller Properties

Compact, low-noise units can install air conditioning in flats and smaller homes.
