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 a diagnostic call out?

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 Does Air Conditioning Improve Everyday Comfort?

Air conditioning helps maintain steady temperatures, lowers humidity, and filters out dust. It improves air quality and makes relaxing, sleeping, and working indoors easier. Once you’ve felt the difference, many people ask about the costs involved.

What Does Newcastle Air Conditioning Cost in Durham?

Air conditioning in Durham, including County Durham, typically starts from £1,800 and £9,000.

Will Air Conditioning Work in Period or Stone-Built Homes?

Yes, air conditioning works well in older buildings. We install modern units that are compact and discreet, and we take care not to disturb original features like stone walls or beams. This means even traditional homes can enjoy cool, fresh air without affecting their character, especially when comfort and design need to go hand in hand. Along with comfort, another common reason people choose air conditioning is the health benefits it can bring inside the home.

Does Air Conditioning Help With Seasonal Allergies?

It does. Many systems filter out pollen, pet hair, and airborne dust, which helps ease allergy symptoms indoors. This cleaner air is helpful year-round, especially in bedrooms and home offices. And to keep the air this clean, regular maintenance becomes even more important because good air quality relies on a well-maintained system.

What’s Involved in Keeping Your System Efficient?

Annual servicing helps your system run better for longer. We clean filters, check refrigerant levels, and ensure everything works properly. A well-maintained system is quieter, uses less energy, and is less likely to break down. But if performance drops even with servicing, it’s worth considering whether your system might need replacing.

When Should You Think About Replacing Your System?

If your unit isn’t cooling properly, is costing more to run, or breaks down often, it might be time for a replacement. Newer systems are quieter, more efficient, and easier to control. With better technology now available, upgrading often brings more comfort and savings in the long run, especially when you’re supported in making the right choice.
