Multi-split air conditioning in Oxford
Twin and triple systems suit Oxford homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
Multi-split is a good fit for Oxford flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. As well as Oxford itself, our Oxfordshire coverage takes in Banbury, Abingdon and the towns around them. Coverage includes OX1.

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 Oxford, 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
We book surveys in Oxford at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Oxford 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.
