Home / Air Conditioning Durham
Cool in summer, warm in winter. Wall-mounted and multi-room air conditioning for Durham homes, fitted tidily by qualified engineers and built around the way you actually live.
Our summers are getting warmer and our homes hold the heat. Air conditioning fixes that, and modern units do far more than cool: they're heat pumps, so they warm rooms efficiently in winter too. We install domestic air conditioning across County Durham, from the city and Belmont out to Chester-le-Street, Spennymoor and the surrounding villages.
Because we're an all-trades firm, the whole job sits under one roof: the survey, the indoor units, the outdoor condenser, the pipework, the electrical connection and the commissioning. One firm, one tidy install, one point of contact.
Every system is designed around your home and how you use it, whether that's one unit in a hot bedroom or a multi-room setup across the house. We'll tell you honestly what suits your property before you spend a penny.

Tell us the work, the property, your timescale and budget through our quick form, and upload any plans or photos. Everything in one place from the start.
We review what you've sent and decide the best next step, whether that's pricing straight away or sorting drawings, planning or building control first.
Where it's needed, we come and look properly: access, structure, levels and anything affecting the cost. Your chance to ask questions before we quote.
A clear, transparent quote setting out what's included, assumed and excluded, with a payment structure. Confidence in what you're accepting, not a one-line price.
Once you're happy, we sort dates, materials, access and building control before anyone lifts a tool, so the job runs smoothly on site.
Our team arrives clear on the agreed scope, keeps the site tidy, communicates as we go and respects your home throughout.

It depends on how many rooms you want cooled and the type of system. A single wall-mounted unit in one room is the entry point; a multi-room system costs more. We survey your home and give a fixed written quote with no call-out charge, so you know the price before you commit.
Yes. Modern air conditioning units are heat pumps, so they work both ways: cooling in summer and heating in winter, often very efficiently. Many people use them to take the chill off in spring and autumn without firing up the boiler.
Running cost depends on how much you use it and how efficient the unit is, but modern systems are very efficient, especially in heating mode where they deliver more heat energy than the electricity they use. We'll talk through realistic running costs for your home.
For most homes, a domestic air conditioning unit falls under permitted development, but there are conditions on the size and position of the outdoor unit, and different rules apply to flats, conservation areas and listed buildings. We'll check this as part of the survey.
Modern units are quiet, both the indoor unit and the outdoor condenser. We position the outdoor unit carefully to keep noise down for you and your neighbours, and to meet permitted development rules.
Yes, an annual check keeps it running efficiently and maintains the warranty. Because air conditioning uses refrigerant, servicing should be done by a qualified engineer. We offer maintenance and aftercare.
Air conditioning installation involves handling refrigerant, which is regulated work. We'll confirm the relevant F-Gas certification and qualifications when you enquire, so you can be confident the job is done legally and properly.
