New build and renovation air conditioning in Carrickfergus
In Northern Ireland, cooling is mostly needed in conservatories and glazed rooms, while efficient heating benefits the whole home. For new Carrickfergus extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
First-fix pipework in Carrickfergus extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Our County Antrim coverage takes in Carrickfergus, about 10 miles from Belfast. That includes the BT38 postcode district.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Working with your builder
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
The survey
A survey in Carrickfergus 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. 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.
