What Size Air Conditioner Do You Need?
A unit that’s too small runs flat out and never gets the room comfortable. One that’s too big switches on and off constantly and wastes power. This is the starting point we use before measuring up on survey.
| Room | Typical floor area | Unit size |
|---|---|---|
| Single bedroom or small office | Up to 15 m² | 2.0 to 2.5 kW |
| Double bedroom or study | 15 to 25 m² | 2.5 to 3.5 kW |
| Lounge or dining room | 25 to 35 m² | 3.5 kW |
| Kitchen diner or open-plan space | 35 to 50 m² | 5.0 kW |
| Large open plan or shop floor | 50 m² and over | 7.0 kW or more |
Big south-facing windows, loft rooms under the roof and conservatories usually need the next size up.
Air Conditioning Services in Dorset
Single-room splits, and multi-splits where one outdoor unit serves up to five rooms. Wall-mounted as standard, with floor consoles and ceiling cassettes where a wall unit won’t suit. See installation
A yearly clean and check for every indoor and outdoor unit, with a written service record for your warranty. Commercial systems in constant use are better serviced every six months. See servicing
Leaks, error codes, units that won’t cool or heat, and noisy outdoor units. We find the actual fault and give you the price before carrying out the repair. See repairs
Systems sized around the people, lighting and equipment in the space, plus replacement of old systems that are costly to run or no longer repairable. Regular maintenance visits can be booked in to suit your opening hours.

We’re not tied to one manufacturer, so we can fit whichever system suits the room, the budget and how you’ll use it. That includes MHI, LG, Midea, Fujitsu and AUX, from budget-friendly single rooms to quiet premium units for bedrooms.
On the survey we’ll explain the differences in running cost, noise and warranty between the options, and give you an honest recommendation rather than pushing one brand.

Air Conditioning Questions
Less than most people expect. A modern system moves heat rather than making it, so it typically gives out three to four units of heating or cooling for every unit of electricity it uses. That makes it far cheaper to run than a plug-in electric heater or portable air conditioner.
Yes. All our systems are reverse-cycle, which means the indoor unit that cools you in July blows warm air in winter at the press of a button. Many customers use it as the main heat for a conservatory or garden room.
On low fan, an indoor unit is quieter than a normal conversation, which is why people happily run them in bedrooms overnight. We position the outdoor unit away from bedroom windows and neighbours wherever the wall allows, and mount it on anti-vibration feet.
On a wall bracket, on the ground, or on a flat roof. It needs space around it for air to flow, and the shorter the pipe run to the indoor unit, the better it performs. We agree the positions with you on the survey before anything is ordered.
Yes. Whoever fitted it, we can look after it. The price per indoor unit is the same as for our own installs.
