Home air conditioning in Fareham
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. Fareham is about 10 miles from Southampton and falls within our Hampshire coverage. That includes the PO16 postcode district.
Rooms and systems
Loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms in Fareham gain heat through the roof all day and give it back at night. For Fareham landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Twin and triple systems suit Fareham homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. For self-builds and extensions in Fareham, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder.
Design-led units, slim floor consoles and concealed ducted systems are all options where a standard white wall unit would look out of place. If heating matters as much as cooling, an air-to-air heat pump sized for winter can replace old electric heaters room by room, and still cool in summer.
Guide prices in Fareham
On our South East England figures, a deep clean is typically £175–£300 per indoor unit, conservatory air conditioning £1,745–£4,195 per system, and a repair £185–£1,495, all including VAT. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission. For flats in Fareham, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting.
Fareham is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
