Air Conditioning Installation in Bournemouth

Local installers of air conditioning and air-to-air heat pumps for Bournemouth homes, flats and home offices. Cool in the heatwaves, cheap heating in winter, a fixed price in writing with no VAT to add. Pete prices every Bournemouth job personally, and most quotes come back the same day. Saturdays cost no extra - the phone is on 7am to 7pm, all week.

Why Bournemouth homes are buying air conditioning

Bournemouth summers have changed. Recent years have brought record heat, and the town's housing stock handles it badly: Victorian and Edwardian conversions in Winton, Charminster and Boscombe that hold heat in the roof, south-facing flats along the East Cliff and Southbourne that cook in the afternoon, and a wave of loft offices where working from home means working in the hottest room of the house.

A wall-split unit fixes the summer problem and then earns its keep all winter as an air-to-air heat pump - efficient room heating at roughly a third of the running cost of plug-in heaters. One appliance, both seasons.

What we fit

  • Bedrooms - quiet modern indoor units for sleeping through a heatwave
  • Home offices and loft rooms - the work-from-home essential
  • Living rooms and open-plan spaces - single or multi-split
  • Conservatories and garden rooms - usable in August AND January at last

Two trades, one firm

Air conditioning is really two trades in one job, and we are upfront about which is which. The electrical half is ours: the survey, the mounting, the pipe and condensate runs, the dedicated circuit and the testing. That is the part most air conditioning firms hand to a subcontractor - for us it IS the trade. The refrigerant half - final connections, pressure test, commissioning - belongs by law to an F-Gas certified engineer, who also registers your manufacturer's warranty. Through all of it you deal with Pete, start to finish.

What it costs

The national picture first: a single-room wall split typically lands between £1,600 and £2,800 fitted, and multi-room systems run £3,500 to £7,000. Your Bournemouth number is fixed in writing after a free survey, with no VAT to add and materials charged at cost. The cost guide explains exactly what moves the number up or down.

Quick answers

How much does air conditioning installation cost in Bournemouth?

A single-room wall split typically lands between £1,600 and £2,800 nationally, fitted. Your own number is fixed in writing after a free survey - and VAT is never added on top.

Can you fit air conditioning in a flat?

Often yes, but flats usually need permission - freeholder consent and, unlike houses, normally a planning application for the outdoor unit. We check both at the survey before you commit to anything.

Does it work as heating in winter?

Yes. Every unit we fit is a reversible air-to-air heat pump. It cools in summer and heats in winter at roughly a third of the running cost of plug-in electric heaters.

Who does the refrigerant work?

By law, the final refrigerant connections, the pressure test and the commissioning sit with an F-Gas certified engineer, who signs that part off. The rest of the install is our own electricians' work, and Pete stays your one contact throughout.

Do you cover my part of Bournemouth?

Yes - all the BH1 to BH11 postcodes, including Winton, Charminster, Boscombe, Southbourne, Westbourne and Kinson. There is no call-out charge for Bournemouth.
