Home gym and media room air conditioning across Hampshire
For a home cinema in Southampton, we place the indoor unit so airflow stays away from the screen and seating. Basement and garage rooms in Southampton usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
Prices in Hampshire
Guide prices around Hampshire run from £1,645 to £4,095 per room including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. For reference, the Garage gym option in Hampshire (3.5–5 kW unit with supply check and pump if needed) usually comes to about £2,145–£2,995.

2.5–3.5 kW unit for a small gym or games room.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
We book surveys in Hampshire at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Hampshire 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.
