Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Fleet
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. Design-led units suit Fleet homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view.
In Fleet, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Fleet sits around 36 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. We cover GU13, GU51 and GU52 and the streets around them.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
Surveys in Fleet cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Fleet usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
