Air Conditioning Installation
Done Properly, First Time
A correct installation is the difference between a system that runs reliably for 20 years and one that fails in two. We survey, design and install every system to manufacturer specification, with clean cable runs, properly supported pipework and full commissioning documentation.
Everything Handled
From Survey to Handover
We manage the entire process so you don't have to. From the initial call to the final commissioning document, you'll always know what's happening and when.
- Free site survey and heat load calculation
- Written system specification and quotation
- Supply of equipment — we handle procurement
- Bracket, pipework and cable installation
- Refrigerant pressure testing and leak verification
- Electrical connection and controls commissioning
- F-Gas register entry and system documentation
- User training and full handover
What a Quality Installation
Actually Looks Like
Not all installations are equal. These are the things we do on every job that make the difference between a system that works perfectly and one that causes problems from day one.
Site Survey & Load Calculation
We measure the space, assess insulation, windows and occupancy to size the system correctly. Oversized units short-cycle and fail early; undersized ones never reach temperature.
Clean Pipe Runs
Refrigerant pipes clipped neatly, insulated throughout and routed discreetly — no exposed pipes trailing down exterior walls unless unavoidable.
Pressure Testing
Every refrigerant circuit is pressure-tested and held for a minimum period before any gas is admitted — a step many cheaper installers skip.
Full Commissioning
Refrigerant charge verified, superheat and subcooling measured, controls programmed and all parameters set to manufacturer specification — not just powered on and left.
F-Gas Documentation
System registered on the national F-Gas database, commissioning certificate issued and all documentation handed over so you're compliant from day one.
Handover & Training
We walk you through everything — how to use the remote, how to clean the filter, what the indicator lights mean and when to call us for a service.
Qualified Installers
Across All Major Brands
Our engineers hold manufacturer training certification from Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Samsung, Fujitsu and LG — meaning your warranty is protected and the system performs as the manufacturer intends.
Tidy Work
We take pride in clean installs — your home or workplace left as we found it
12-Month Warranty
Parts and labour warranty on all installations — in addition to the manufacturer's product warranty
On Time
We keep to agreed installation dates and communicate any delays before they affect your plans
Transparent Pricing
Fixed price agreed upfront — no day-rate surprises or extras added on install day

Our pre-installation site survey is what separates a system that works perfectly for 15 years from one that struggles from day one. We use industry-standard heat load calculation software to determine the exact capacity required.
- We measure every room dimension, window size and orientation to calculate solar gain accurately
- Insulation standard, ceiling height and number of occupants are all factored into the calculation
- We check external wall access for the outdoor unit — pipe run length, electrical supply route and drainage fall for the condensate
- You receive a written quote with specific model recommendations, not a generic estimate
- The survey is free with no obligation — we'd rather not install an unsuitable system
The quality of the pipe run is one of the most visible indicators of how seriously an installer takes their work. Poorly routed pipes are not just unsightly — they can trap oil, cause premature compressor failure or allow moisture ingress.
- We use armaflex (closed-cell foam) insulation on all refrigerant lines to prevent heat gain and condensation
- Pipes are clipped at regular intervals — they shouldn't sag or rattle against walls
- We plan the route before drilling to minimise external pipe runs; trunking is used where pipes must be surface-mounted
- Where pipes pass through exterior walls, we use weatherproof wall plates and silicone seal around the hole
- Condensate drain pipes are routed with the correct fall to prevent water backing up — a common cause of indoor water leaks
Pressure testing is a mandatory step under F-Gas Regulation — it confirms the refrigerant circuit is leak-free before any refrigerant is introduced. Skipping this step is a regulatory violation and leaves you with a system that may fail early due to an undetected leak.
- We pressurise the circuit with dry nitrogen to the manufacturer's specified test pressure (typically 40–45 bar)
- The pressure is held for a minimum of one hour — we check for any drop that would indicate a leak
- If a leak is found, we locate it, repair it and re-test before proceeding
- This step is recorded in the F-Gas logbook as part of the commissioning documentation
- Many cheaper installers skip this step — it adds time but it's non-negotiable for us
Commissioning is the process of setting up the installed system to operate at its designed performance. It goes well beyond powering the unit on and checking it blows cold air.
- Refrigerant charge is verified against the manufacturer's specified weight for the actual pipe length installed
- Superheat and subcooling are measured with calibrated gauges to confirm the system is operating within correct parameters
- All controls are programmed: temperature setpoints, fan speed defaults, timer settings and operating modes
- Condensate drainage is tested by introducing water — we confirm it drains freely before leaving
- A commissioning certificate is issued and the system is registered on the F-Gas national database
Under UK F-Gas Regulations, all systems containing HFC refrigerants must be registered and their installation documented. This is a legal requirement, not optional — and non-compliance can affect your property sale or insurance.
- We register every new system on the national F-Gas Register using our certified operator number
- A commissioning certificate showing the refrigerant type, quantity and GWP (Global Warming Potential) is issued to you
- The system F-Gas logbook is created — this must be updated at every subsequent service visit
- For commercial properties, a TM44 inspection will be required within 5 years for systems over 12kW
- We can take on the ongoing F-Gas compliance and annual servicing so you have one point of contact
A proper handover ensures you know how to get the best from your new system — and how to spot early signs of a problem before they become expensive faults.
- We demonstrate all operating modes: cooling, heating, fan only, dehumidification, auto mode
- We show you how to clean the filter (usually quarterly) — a dirty filter is the single most common cause of reduced performance
- You're shown what the indicator light colours mean and which error displays to call us about
- We explain the annual F-Gas service requirement and what it covers
- All documentation — commissioning certificate, user manual, warranty cards and F-Gas logbook — is handed over physically or emailed on request
