Frequently asked questions
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
AC capacity is measured in BTU or kW. As a rough guide: a 10–15m² room needs 5,000–7,000 BTU (1.5–2kW); a 20–30m² room needs 9,000–12,000 BTU (2.5–3.5kW). Heat load, insulation, glazing and sun exposure all affect the calculation — an installer will assess the room before recommending a unit.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
A single split system (one indoor, one outdoor unit) for a living room or bedroom costs £1,500–£3,000 installed. Multi-split systems covering multiple rooms run £3,500–£8,000+. Commercial installations are priced per zone and site survey.
Do I need planning permission for an air conditioning unit?
Outdoor AC condensing units are generally permitted development on houses. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas may require consent. Your installer will advise — and should handle any required applications.
How often does an air conditioning system need servicing?
Annual servicing is recommended — the engineer checks refrigerant levels, cleans filters and coils, inspects electrical connections and verifies performance. Neglecting service leads to reduced efficiency and early compressor failure.
Can an air conditioning unit also heat my home?
Yes — most modern split systems are heat pumps that can heat as well as cool. They are highly efficient (3–4 kW of heat output per kW of electricity) and increasingly popular as a low-carbon alternative to gas heating for individual rooms.
Do I need an F-Gas qualified engineer to install AC?
Yes. Any work involving refrigerants requires an engineer certified under the F-Gas Regulations (City & Guilds 2079 or equivalent). Installing or servicing an AC system without this certification is illegal. Always confirm F-Gas accreditation before booking.
