Where it works

Comfort in every room

A single wall unit per room, sized to the space and fitted where it works best for you — high on the wall, out of the sightline, and quiet enough to sleep beside.

In a park home, static caravan or lodge? Those need a slightly different approach — here's how we fit them.

Why homeowners choose us

Comfort you'll actually notice

The little things that make the difference between an air conditioner and a system you love living with.

Whisper-quiet

Modern units run from as low as 16–19 dB(A) on their quietest setting — barely there, so bedrooms and living rooms stay peaceful.

Warm in winter too

These are air-to-air heat pumps — efficient heating that can cost less to run than traditional electric heating, so the system earns its keep year-round.

Clean, discreet installs

Tidy pipework, minimal mess and finishes to suit the room — white, black, or a floor console where a wall unit won't suit.

One person, start to finish

Matthew handles your survey, install and aftercare personally — a name you can call directly.

How it's done

From first call to cool air

Most single-room installs are a one-day job. Here's exactly what happens, so there are no surprises.

1

Free survey

We measure the room, check its aspect and glazing, look at the wall construction and the consumer unit, and agree where both units will sit. No charge and no obligation.

2

Correct sizing

We size on the actual heat gain of the room, not a rule of thumb. An oversized unit short-cycles, runs less efficiently and dehumidifies poorly — getting this right matters more than the badge on the front.

3

Fixed-price quote

A written quote covering equipment, materials, labour, commissioning and paperwork. The price we quote is the price you pay.

4

Install day

Indoor unit mounted, one small cored hole through the wall, sealed and sleeved, refrigerant pipework and condensate run in discreet trunking. Dust sheets down, everything cleared away.

5

Commissioning

Pressure test, vacuum to remove moisture and air, refrigerant charge verified, and performance checked in both heating and cooling. This is the step that separates a system that lasts from one that doesn't.

6

Handover & aftercare

A walk-through of the controls and the cheapest way to run it, your F-Gas paperwork, and annual servicing whenever you want it.

What it costs

Straight answers on price

We don't publish a price list, because a headline figure that ignores your actual room would be misleading. What we will do is tell you exactly what moves the number.

The size of the unit is set by the room, not your budget — a 2.5 kW unit suits a typical bedroom, while a large open-plan kitchen-diner may need 5 kW or more. The pipe run between indoor and outdoor units matters: a bedroom directly above the patio is straightforward, a run through three floors is not. Where the outdoor unit goes affects access and mounting — ground level on a slab is simplest, a first-floor wall bracket needs more work.

Multi-room systems change the maths. Running several indoor units from one outdoor unit takes up far less space outside, with one condenser and one set of pipe runs. On price it depends on what you compare: multi-split ranges start higher than the most basic single-split units, so budget separate systems can work out cheaper per room, while against like-for-like models the multi-split usually comes out ahead. We'll price it both ways at the survey. If you're thinking about more than one room now or later, say so at the survey and we'll plan for it.

Use the quote builder for an instant guide price in under a minute, then we'll confirm it properly at a free survey. If a job turns out to be more involved than the guide suggests, we tell you before you commit — not afterwards.

Credentials & standards

Why you can trust the work

Air conditioning is regulated work. Refrigerant handling is a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have — here's what backs ours up.

Public liability insurance

Public liability insurance is held for all work we carry out. If you'd like to see the documentation, just ask and we'll happily provide our insurer's details.

Refcom F-Gas certified

Certificate REF1023295

Cheshire Climate Solutions Ltd holds a Refcom company certificate under the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations 2015, valid to August 2028. It covers all system sizes. You can check it on Refcom's public register.

15+ years in the trade

Matthew spent over a decade installing air conditioning across the South of France before bringing that standard back to the North West — villas, apartments and park homes, in genuinely punishing heat.

Manufacturer-approved

Listed on Samsung's own installer finder, and we install Mitsubishi Electric, Hitachi and Fujitsu too. Manufacturer warranties generally require correct installation and regular servicing to stay valid.

Warranty & aftercare

What's covered, and for how long

Two separate warranties apply to every system we fit — the manufacturer's on the equipment, and ours on the workmanship.

BrandManufacturer parts warranty
Samsung7 years
Hitachi5 years
Mitsubishi ElectricVaries by range — typically 5 years
Other brandsVaries — confirmed with your quote
Our labour warranty2 years, every brand

Manufacturer cover is parts only and is granted under the manufacturer's own terms and at their discretion. Those terms expect the system to have been installed by a certified engineer, and some ask for evidence that it has been maintained, so keep your paperwork. Terms vary by brand and range — we'll tell you what yours asks for, and when a service is actually worth booking.

On top of that, we give a two-year labour warranty on every system we install, whichever brand you choose. It covers our own workmanship, and it also covers the labour involved in fitting any part supplied under the manufacturer's warranty. That second part matters: manufacturer cover pays for the component, not the engineer's time to fit it, so for your first two years a parts claim doesn't leave you with a labour bill.

In practice, claims are rare. Installed correctly, units from the major manufacturers are built to run for years without trouble — which is exactly why we only fit Samsung, Mitsubishi Electric, Hitachi and Fujitsu. We won't put in equipment we don't trust to keep working. The warranties matter all the same: on the rare occasion something does go wrong, you want the cover to be there.

Warranty periods can change, and they vary between ranges within a brand. We confirm the exact warranty terms for the specific unit you're having on your quotation, before any works are scheduled — so you know precisely what you're covered for before you commit to anything.

Where we work

Local, and genuinely so

We're based in Disley, which sits on the Cheshire side of the Greater Manchester boundary. That puts Stockport, Poynton, Bramhall, High Lane and Marple within a few minutes' drive, and Wilmslow, Macclesfield, Altrincham, Knutsford and central Manchester comfortably inside our normal working area.

We also cover Warrington, Chester and into North Wales. Being close by isn't just convenient for the install — it's what makes callbacks, servicing and warranty work practical years later. A company two hours away rarely comes back.

Common questions

Home air conditioning, answered

How much does home air conditioning cost to install in the UK?

For a single room, most domestic installations fall somewhere in the low thousands once equipment, materials, labour and commissioning are included — but the honest answer is that it depends on the size of unit your room needs and how far the pipework has to run. Multi-room systems cost more overall but less per room. The quote builder gives you a guide price in a minute, and the free survey confirms it.

Do I need planning permission for air conditioning?

For most houses in England, a single outdoor unit is permitted development provided it meets the conditions — siting, size and noise limits among them. It's more likely to need permission if you live in a flat, a listed building, or a conservation area, or if the unit would sit on a wall facing a highway. We'll flag it at survey if we think your property is affected, and we'd always rather raise it early than after the fact. Check with your local planning department if you're unsure.

Can air conditioning heat my house in winter?

Yes. Modern units are air-to-air heat pumps — they heat as well as cool, and keep working well below freezing. Because they move heat rather than generate it, they typically deliver around three times more heat than the electricity they consume, which usually makes them cheaper to run than electric panel heaters or bottled gas.

How much does it cost to run?

Far less than most people expect. A modern inverter unit only draws full power while pulling the room to temperature, then throttles right back. Look at the SEER and SCOP figures on the manufacturer brochures — higher is better, and the difference between an A++ and A+++ unit shows up on your bill over the years.

How long does installation take?

A single-room system is usually a one-day job. Multi-room systems take two to three days depending on how many indoor units and how far the pipework runs. We'll give you a realistic timescale with the quote, not an optimistic one.

Will it be noisy for me or my neighbours?

Indoor units are remarkably quiet — the ranges we fit start from 16–19 dB(A) on their quietest setting, which is below a whisper. Outdoor units are louder but still modest, and where they sit matters. We site them with your neighbours in mind, which also helps with the permitted-development noise conditions.

What warranty do I get?

Two. The manufacturer covers parts — currently 7 years on Samsung and 5 years on Hitachi. Mitsubishi Electric varies by range but is typically 5 years. All manufacturer cover is granted under their own terms and at their discretion, and other brands vary. On top of that we give a 2-year labour warranty on every system we install, regardless of brand. It covers our workmanship and the labour to fit any part supplied under the manufacturer's warranty, so a parts claim in those two years doesn't leave you with a labour bill. In practice claims are rare — installed correctly, major-brand units are built to last, which is why we only fit brands we trust. Manufacturer cover generally depends on correct installation and regular servicing, and we confirm the exact terms on your quotation before works are scheduled.

Does it need servicing, and what happens if it isn't?

Yes — annually is the sensible interval. A serviced system runs more efficiently, lasts longer and stays cleaner. Most manufacturer warranties also require regular servicing to remain valid, so skipping it can quietly cost you your cover. See servicing and repairs for what's involved.

Which brand should I choose?

All four we fit — Samsung, Mitsubishi Electric, Hitachi and Fujitsu — make genuinely good equipment, and the right answer depends on the room, the finish you want and your budget. Samsung WindFree suits bedrooms where a draught would bother you; Mitsubishi's MSZ-LN is the one to look at if appearance matters most. Compare them on the products page or read the manufacturers' own specifications.

Can you fit air conditioning in a flat, park home or garden room?

Yes to all three. Flats usually need freeholder or management-company consent for the outdoor unit. Park homes and static caravans need a slightly different approach, which we've set out in detail on the park homes page. Garden rooms and loft conversions are among the most common jobs we do.
