Frequently Asked Questions About Home Or Office Air Conditioning Installation
Do I need planning permission to install air conditioning at home?
In most cases, no. However, if you live in a listed building or conservation area, you may need permission.
How long does the installation take?
A standard single-room system usually takes 4–8 hours, but larger or more complex installations may take longer.
Where is the best place to install the indoor unit?
Ideally, it should be on an external wall for easy pipe access, placed high up for even air distribution, and away from heat sources.
Will installing air conditioning damage my walls?
Minimal disruption is expected. A small hole (about 75mm) is drilled for pipework, and trunking can be used to conceal pipes if needed.
How much does it cost to run an air conditioning unit?
Costs depend on unit size, usage, and energy efficiency. On average, a modern energy-efficient unit costs around 10–30p per hour to run.
Does air conditioning also provide heating?
Yes, most modern systems are heat pumps, meaning they can cool in summer and heat in winter efficiently.
