Wall-mounted air conditioning in Fareham
In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. In a semi or terrace in Fareham, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below.
Where a home in Fareham faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Fareham sits around 10 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. We cover PO16 and the streets around them.

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.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. 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.
