Air conditioning replacement and removal in Wareham
Replacements in Wareham can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound. South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much.
Units over fifteen years old in Wareham homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. Wareham lies roughly 10 miles from Bournemouth, and we cover it as part of Dorset. That includes the BH20 postcode district.

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