Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Eastleigh
For Eastleigh houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
In Eastleigh, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Eastleigh is about 5 miles from Southampton and falls within our Hampshire coverage. Homes in SO50 are all within our coverage.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
For most houses in Eastleigh, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. On a survey in Eastleigh the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
