Internal Air Conditioning Units

For visual appeal, selecting your indoor unit style is the most significant choice you need to make. We suggest positioning wall units close to exterior walls, which allows for a gravity-based drainage system instead of a pump that may generate noise.

We are Fujitsu accredited installers. This leading brand offers a wide range of air conditioning units renowned for their dependability and high standards. We’re more than competent to work with any other alternative brand that you may prefer.

Types Of Internal Units

High Wall Mounted Units

A high wall-mounted home air conditioning unit maximizes usable floor space while providing efficient, even air distribution throughout the room.

Ducted System Interior Elements

The only visible part of a ducted system in a room are discreet grills or vents which can be custom-designed and even hidden – for example behind a suspended ceiling.

Floor Mounted Units

These units are ideal for rooms with limited wall space like conservatories and loft conversions, or rooms with large windows and attics with sloped ceilings.

Ducted Air Conditioning Options

A ducted air conditioning system cools or heats a building by distributing air through hidden ductwork, delivering climate control discreetly to multiple rooms via vents in ceilings or walls.

There are minimal visible elements in the indoor space, but maximum comfort is delivered.

Internally Visible elements of a ducted system

Linear Grilles or Vents

Adjustable to allow for quiet control of airflow, air vents or grilles come in different shapes and sizes, designed to blend in seamlessly with ceilings, walls or cabinetry in the interior space. They are versatile and can be custom coloured.

Air Valves

A ducted air conditioning system cools or heats a building by distributing air through hidden ductwork, delivering climate control discreetly to multiple rooms via vents in ceilings or walls.

External Air Conditioning Units

Known in the trade as the condenser, the external unit of an air conditioning system is the “engine” which drives the climate-controlled air into your home.

Positioning it correctly is important, with things like airflow, accessibility for maintenance, operational noise and aesthetics all factors to consider both for where it is sited on your own property and its proximity to the neighbours.

Options for positioning a condenser unit

Ground Position

Siting the unit on the ground is the ideal option with the least risk of noise transfer, requiring:

Low Position

Affixed to an exterior wall about a foot or two above the ground.

Balcony Position

An option for apartments or offices above the ground floor.

Flat Roof Position

A space-saving and aesthetic option for properties which have flat roof space.

High Position

An air conditioner condenser unit can be mounted high on a wall of your home using brackets, as long as it is level, accessible, and has clearance for air intake. We don’t recommend this as the ideal situation, however.

Discreet Ductwork & Wiring Options

The aim of an expert installer is to ensure your home air conditioning system operates quietly and efficiently with all components, ductwork and wiring protected, and fitted neatly and tidily.

Options for ductwork & wiring

Trunking

Also known as pipe casing, trunking is a protective channel used to neatly cover and hide the pipes, electrical wires and drainage lines associated with your air conditioner units, creating a clean look and protecting components from damage and the elements.

Trenches

Any external works involved in an air conditioning installation, like routing pipes or drainage, is minimal and can be handled with little impact on the property.

Attic Space

Utilising the attic space in a property is the ideal solution for keeping air conditioning ductwork and wiring out of sight.

Power Supply Requirements

The power supply to your internal or external air conditioning unit is a major consideration that should be checked and resolved before installation can take place.

To avoid issues like the unit tripping the circuit breaker or not delivering adequate power we need to carry out a survey of your electrics to ensure compatibility.

Power Supply Options

Dedicated Power Supply

We recommend this option because it doesn’t impact on the rest of your property.

Hardwired Fused Spur

The power line from the main circuit to the air conditioning unit can be hard-wired into a switch which contains a replaceable fuse, so it can be easily turned off in isolation from the rest of the property’s electrical system.

Upgrades Worth Having

We are able to offer some cutting edge “extras” for your consideration, so you can make the most of your air conditioning installation.

Treat Yourself to these Upgrades

Smart Remote Control of Your Air Conditioning

The latest model air conditioners allow you to control your indoor climate remotely from anywhere, using your smart phone, via a Wi-Fi connection.

Colour Choices

The latest air conditioning units (like the Fujitsu Airstage range) give you aesthetic choices to match in with your décor. Although most units are white, options like pearl white, black, dark grey silver (with a textured finish) are also available depending on the model.
