Where Ashford homeowners install air conditioning

Ashford has grown faster than almost anywhere else in Kent, and the new-build estates at Chilmington Green, Finberry, Repton Park and Conningbrook are where we do most of our domestic work. Modern airtight houses hold heat extremely well, which is excellent in January and miserable in July. South-facing bedrooms in particular can sit five or six degrees above the rest of the house on a hot week.

Bedrooms. Our most requested domestic job. Whisper-quiet wall units with night modes hold the room at your ideal sleeping temperature right through a heatwave, without the noise of a portable unit.

Loft conversions. Roof rooms are the hottest space in any house. A single unit turns an unusable summer loft into the best room in the property.

Conservatories and garden rooms. All that glazing means huge solar gain in summer and rapid heat loss in winter. Air conditioning fixes both.

Home offices. If you work from home in Ashford, a comfortable working temperature in July and an efficient heat source in January pays for itself in usable hours.

Living rooms and open-plan spaces. Larger capacity units or a multi-split arrangement keep open-plan kitchen-diners comfortable without cold spots.

Heating as well as cooling

Every system we install is an air-to-air heat pump. In heating mode it delivers roughly three to four units of heat for every unit of electricity, which makes it substantially cheaper to run than plug-in electric heaters or oil-filled radiators. Plenty of our Ashford customers end up using their system more in winter than in summer.

What it costs

A single bedroom or home office unit is typically £1,500 to £2,500 fully installed. A living room is £2,000 to £3,000. A multi-split covering two or three rooms runs from around £3,500. We quote from a free survey, and the price we give is the price you pay.

Running costs

Far less than most people expect. A modern inverter unit cooling a double bedroom typically draws under 1kW once it reaches temperature, so an evening's cooling often costs less than a cup of coffee. Correct sizing matters here: an undersized unit runs flat out, and an oversized one cycles inefficiently.

Domestic questions

Is air conditioning noisy in a bedroom?

Modern indoor units run from around 19 to 26dB on low settings, which is quieter than a library. Outdoor units are far quieter than older models too, and we position them carefully to avoid disturbing bedrooms or neighbours.

What size air conditioner do I need for a bedroom?

As a rough guide a typical double bedroom needs around 2.5kW of cooling, but it depends on ceiling height, glazing, orientation and insulation. We calculate it properly at the free survey rather than working from floor area alone.

Can air conditioning heat my home as well as cool it?

Yes. Modern systems are air-to-air heat pumps, so the same unit cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter. Many customers use their system more for winter heating than summer cooling.

Is it cheaper than a portable air conditioner?

Over any reasonable period, yes. Portable units are inefficient, noisy, need a window vent that leaks warm air back in, and cost far more to run. A fixed split system costs more upfront and less every year afterwards.

Will it work in an older Ashford property?

Yes. We install in Victorian terraces, oast conversions and period cottages across east Kent. Solid walls and limited external space just mean the survey matters more, and we may recommend a concealed or ducted unit.
