How much does an air conditioning unit/ system cost?
Naturally each job has different requirements – houses, flats and business premises come in all shapes and sizes. So we always carry out a full no-obligation survey of every site before we quote in order to identify the most suitable and cost-effective solution.
How much does it cost to run the unit/ system?
Much less than you might think! Air conditioning is up to 40% cheaper than gas central heating and up to 60% cheaper than electric heating.
The heat pump systems we install can be used for both cooling and heating your home or premises, removing the need for a central heating system and substantially reducing energy bills.
When you pay for a kilowatt of electricity you get a kilowatt of electric heating. But with an air conditioning system, a kilowatt of electricity buys you over three kilowatts of heating in return, so your money goes further.
Are your systems eco-friendly?
Very much so. Heat pump air conditioning systems use renewable energy. They are more energy (and cost) efficient than other heating systems because they move heat around inside a sealed network, rather than simply consuming a fuel.
I don’t want the air conditioning to be obvious. Can I pick the unit(s) I like?
Of course – tastes differ so we offer a range of styles. And if you require a bespoke unit or system to blend unobtrusively with your décor, we can help. Just get in touch to discuss what you want.
How long does an installation take?
It depends on the number of units required. A single-unit installation normally takes between one to two days.
Is there a lot of upkeep with an aircon unit/ system?
Just a maintenance check at least twice a year to ensure the system is operating at its best and prevent any issues developing. We offer a range of maintenance options to suit all sizes of system.
When you look after your air conditioning system with regular maintenance checks, you benefit from a really efficient system which lasts much longer than a non-maintained one, thus saving you money.
Do you service units you haven’t installed?
Yes. We carry out a survey first in order to offer the most suitable maintenance option.
Does the system come with a warranty?
All new installations come with a 3-year warranty when you choose one of our bespoke maintenance packages.
Can I contract legionella from an air conditioning system?
No systems we install carry a threat of legionella. With existing systems, we need to carry out a full survey before we can confirm this.
