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 quotes every job himself, usually the same day. We are open 7 days a week - call any day, 7am to 7pm, and Saturday surveys and installs are available at normal rates.

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

How the install works

Every install is a two-trade job. Our electricians handle the survey, mounting, pipework routing, condensate, wiring and testing - the half most air conditioning firms subcontract out. The refrigerant connections, pressure test and commissioning are completed by an F-Gas certified engineer, and the manufacturer's warranty is registered on completion. One firm, one boss: Pete quotes the job, runs the job and stays your single point of contact.

What it costs

Nationally, most homeowners pay between £1,600 and £2,800 for a single-room wall split supplied and installed, and £3,500 to £7,000 for multi-room systems. Every Dorset Rewires quote is fixed in writing after a free survey, with no VAT to add and no markup on materials. The cost guide explains exactly what moves the number up or down.

Quick answers

How much does air conditioning installation cost in Bournemouth?

Nationally, most homeowners pay between £1,600 and £2,800 for a single-room wall split, supplied and installed. We quote every Bournemouth job fixed, in writing, after a free survey - and there is no VAT to add 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?

The refrigerant connections, pressure test and commissioning are completed by an F-Gas certified engineer, as the law requires. Our electricians do the survey, mounting, pipework routing, wiring and testing, and Pete stays your single point of contact.

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.
