Portable vs professional — why go fixed?

Portable unit

No installation needed
Can move between rooms
Lower upfront cost (£200–£600)
Noisy (50–65 dB constantly)
Less efficient — hose dumps hot air back in
Takes up floor space
Can only cool one room effectively
3–5 year lifespan

Fixed split-system

Near-silent operation (19–30 dB indoors)
3–5× more energy efficient
Heats as well as cools (year-round use)
Increases property value
15–20 year lifespan
No floor space — wall-mounted unit
Professional installation required
Higher upfront cost (£1,500–£5,000)

A professionally installed split-system typically pays for itself within 3–5 years through energy savings alone — and that’s before you factor in the comfort difference during a UK heatwave.

Common questions

Do I need planning permission for air conditioning?+

For most domestic installations, no. Permitted development rights usually cover external condenser units. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent. Your installer will advise.

What does F-Gas certified mean?+

F-Gas certification is a legal requirement in the UK for anyone handling refrigerant gases. All installers we match you with hold valid F-Gas certification — it’s non-negotiable.

Can a split system heat as well as cool?+

Yes. Modern split systems are reversible heat pumps — they provide efficient heating in winter (typically 3–4× more efficient than electric heaters) and cooling in summer.

How long does installation take?+

A standard single-split install takes 4–8 hours. Multi-room systems typically take 1–2 days. Your installer will give you a timeline during the quote.

Is there any obligation?+

None. You’re getting free quotes. Compare them, ask questions, and only proceed if you’re happy with the price and installer.

Do you install yourself?+

No — we’re a matching service. We connect you with independent F-Gas certified installers who cover your area. We don’t take a commission from your job.
