New build and renovation air conditioning in Fareham
Renovations in Fareham are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
For new Fareham extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Fareham sits around 10 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. Coverage includes PO16.

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%.
Working with your builder
On build projects the main thing is timing with your builder and electrician; we fit first-fix pipework before plastering and agree the outdoor unit position early.
The survey
A survey in Fareham 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. On a survey in Fareham the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
