Home gym and media room air conditioning in Eastleigh
Garage gyms and media rooms in Eastleigh often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
Basement and garage rooms in Eastleigh usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. Eastleigh sits around 5 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. Postcode districts we cover here include SO50.

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
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.

We book surveys in Eastleigh at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Eastleigh usually takes one to two hours.
