What this service does
We match one enquiry with one installer. We are not an installer ourselves. We hold no van, no depot and no in-house team.
Tell us about your job once, on the enquiry form. We check the details, then pass them to one pre-qualified installer who covers your area and that kind of work. That installer gets in touch with you directly. Using the service is free, and you are still under no obligation to go ahead.
That short paragraph is the whole model. We fit nothing ourselves, so the site stays focused on one task. That task is sending your enquiry to the right installer.
Who this suits
Homeowners use the form to fit one split unit in a bedroom or living room. A landlord getting a rental ready between tenants can use it too. In both cases, the enquiry reaches an installer who takes on that kind of home job.
Businesses use the same form for an office, shop or kitchen. The job might be home or business. Either way, the form asks a few short questions so your enquiry reaches the right installer.
A trade enquiry often needs a touch more detail than a home one. A shop or an office rarely has one simple answer. The form still takes a few minutes either way, and it asks the right questions so nothing gets missed.
Perhaps you already know your job is a service or a repair, not a new fit. If so, the form asks which applies. That way, your enquiry reaches an installer who already handles that kind of work.
Four services, one form
We cover four kinds of job across our full range of services, and one short form handles all of them. Installation covers fitting a new split system, from one room to a whole house. Servicing and maintenance keeps an existing unit running well, and can catch a small fault early.
Repair covers a unit that has stopped cooling or started making a strange noise. Commercial covers offices, shops, kitchens and server rooms, where the load and the access rules differ from a home. Pick whichever fits your job best, since the form sorts out the rest.
What drives the cost
Nobody can give one honest figure for a new unit without seeing the room first. Size and shape matter, and so does the number of rooms that need cooling. Pipe runs and cable length also vary from house to house. An older home with tight access usually costs more than a modern one with a short, straight run.
A single-split system, cooling one room, sits at the simple end of the scale. A multi-split system covers several rooms from one outdoor unit. It usually costs more to fit, since it needs more indoor units and more pipework. Our cost guide sets out what pushes a price up or down.
Planning permission, in brief
Whether you need consent depends on the property and the type of unit. In England, Class G of the permitted development rules covers air source heat pumps on homes and blocks of flats. A cool-only unit, however, is not named in that class.
Class G does not apply to a listed building at all. In a conservation area, the unit cannot go on a wall or roof that fronts a highway. A council can also withdraw these rights with an Article 4 direction.
Since the answer turns on your own address, check this first. Our planning guide covers the detail, and your installer can advise on your own home too.
The siting of the outdoor unit often matters as much as the paperwork. It needs clear airflow and a sensible spot, away from a neighbour’s window. Class G also allows only one unit on a house that is not detached, and two on a detached house. This is worth raising with your installer early on.
Where we cover
We cover Bristol and the wider South West, spanning eleven anchor towns. Working north and east, that covers Bath air conditioning installation, installation work in Swindon and Cheltenham home installs. Further out, our reach takes in Gloucester air conditioning installation, home cooling installs around Exeter and air conditioning installation in Plymouth.
To the south, the same cover extends to Salisbury home installs, Taunton air conditioning installation and new systems in Truro. The coast then brings Bournemouth air conditioning installation and home cooling installs around Poole into range. From there, we reach seven counties, including Cornwall and Dorset.
Our full service area page lists every town we currently reach.
What happens after you enquire
Once you send the form, we check it and pass it to one installer. That installer covers your postcode and the kind of job you named. It might be a new fit, a service, a repair or business work.
That installer gets in touch to arrange a survey or talk through the job. From that point, you deal with them, not with us. You are under no obligation to go ahead, since the decision stays yours throughout.
An installer needs to see the job before giving a firm price, whether in person or from photos. The price comes from that installer, not from us. Meanwhile, you can take as long as you need to decide.
