Guide to Domestic Air Conditioning Installation

When it comes to creating a comfortable and energy-efficient living space, domestic air conditioning installation is no longer a luxury—it’s an essential part of modern home comfort. At AAC, we’ve been helping homeowners across London and the Home Counties achieve perfect indoor climates since 1999. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or installing air conditioning for the first time, our REFCOM Elite-certified engineers provide the expertise, quality, and care you can rely on.

Why Homeowners are Choosing Air Conditioning

Over the past decade, UK summers have been getting warmer, and more households are turning to air conditioning as a practical solution. Modern systems do far more than simply cool a room—they can also heat, filter, and dehumidify the air, ensuring year-round comfort. Energy-efficient units help to reduce running costs, while advanced technology means systems operate quietly and unobtrusively.

From loft conversions and open-plan kitchens to bedrooms and garden rooms, air conditioning is suitable for almost any home space. At AAC, we tailor every installation to match your property layout, usage, and personal preferences.

How We Install a Split Air Conditioning System

For most domestic properties, a split air conditioning system is the preferred choice. This type of setup includes an indoor unit to condition the air and an external condenser unit to disperse heat outside. Our installation process ensures your system runs efficiently and blends seamlessly with your home’s design.

Every project begins with a survey to assess room size, electrical requirements, and the best positioning for both indoor and outdoor components. We’ll also discuss options for custom colour-matching to help your system fit perfectly with your decor.

Positioning and Fitting the External Condenser Unit

The external condenser unit is vital to your system’s performance. Our engineers carefully select a location that allows for optimal airflow, easy maintenance access, and minimal noise disturbance to you and your neighbours.

We securely mount the condenser—either on an outside wall or on the ground—ensuring it is level, stable, and protected from the elements. All connections are expertly sealed and insulated to maintain energy efficiency and prolong the system’s life.

System Testing, Adjustments, and Finishing Touches

Once installation is complete, we carry out thorough performance tests. This includes checking refrigerant levels, verifying airflow, and calibrating the thermostat controls to your preferred settings.

We’ll then run the system to confirm it’s operating smoothly and quietly before giving you a full demonstration of how to use it. Any cosmetic details, such as trunking and pipe covers, are fitted neatly so your home retains its clean, polished look.

Is DIY Split Air Conditioning Installation a Good Idea?

While DIY may seem like a way to save money, split air conditioning installation requires specialist tools, technical expertise, and knowledge of legal requirements—particularly regarding refrigerants and F-Gas regulations.

Attempting to install a system yourself can lead to reduced efficiency, poor performance, or even damage to your property. It can also void manufacturer warranties. For safety, performance, and long-term reliability, it’s always best to use a certified professional like AAC.
