Home air conditioning

Efficient heating and cooling for bedrooms, living areas, extensions, garden rooms and whole homes. We consider sound, pipe routes, condensate drainage and outdoor-unit positioning before recommending equipment.

Installation options

  • High-wall split systems for one room
  • Multi-split systems serving several rooms
  • Concealed ducted systems with discreet grilles
  • Floor-mounted units where wall space is limited

How we plan it

We assess room size, glazing, insulation and use to calculate the required output rather than selecting a system on floor area alone.

Whole-house MVHR

Balanced mechanical ventilation extracts moist air from kitchens and bathrooms while supplying filtered fresh air to living rooms and bedrooms, recovering heat between the two air streams.

Installation options

  • Whole-house systems for new builds
  • Retrofit designs for major renovations
  • Compact units for apartments
  • Summer bypass and enhanced filtration options

How we plan it

Good MVHR starts with careful airflow calculations, low-resistance duct routes, accessible filters and professional commissioning at every valve.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about home air conditioning in Dorset

How much does home air conditioning cost in Bournemouth?

A single-room wall-mounted split system usually costs less than a multi-room or ducted design, because there is less equipment, pipework and labour involved. The final price depends on the room sizes, how far the pipes need to run, where the outdoor unit can go and which controls you want. We survey your home first and give you a clear, fixed written quote.

How long does it take to install air conditioning in a house?

Most single-room systems are installed in one day, including the indoor unit, outdoor unit, pipework, drainage and commissioning. Multi-split systems serving several rooms typically take two to three days. Concealed ducted systems take longer and are best planned during a renovation. We agree the timings with you before work starts, so you know exactly when we will be on site.

Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Dorset?

Many homes can fit one outdoor unit under permitted development, provided it meets size, noise and positioning conditions, such as not facing a road on certain properties. Listed buildings, flats and conservation areas, including parts of Poole and Christchurch, often need consent. We check the rules for your property during the survey and tell you if an application is needed.

What are the running costs of home air conditioning?

Modern inverter air conditioners are very efficient. They often deliver three to four units of heating or cooling for every unit of electricity they use. Running costs depend on the room size, insulation, how long you run the system and your tariff. We size each system to your rooms so it works steadily at low power instead of cycling on and off.

Is whole-house MVHR worth it for an older home?

MVHR works best in airtight homes, so it suits new builds, deep retrofits and major renovations most. In a draughty older house, sealing the building comes first. If moisture is your main problem and a full system is not practical, a PIV unit can be a simpler, lower-cost solution. We will tell you honestly which option fits your home.

How often does home air conditioning or MVHR need servicing?

We recommend servicing both air conditioning and MVHR once a year. MVHR filters may also need changing every six to twelve months, depending on your location. Annual servicing keeps systems efficient and quiet, and it is often needed to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid. Our domestic maintenance plan books your visit and sends you a reminder before it is due.
