Air Conditioning Installation in Aldershot
REFCOM F-Gas registered installers — local team covering GU11, GU12 and surrounding areas.
Aldershot's older terraces have a specific air-con installation challenge — solid brick walls, no easy route for refrigerant pipework, and limited rear-garden space for the outdoor unit on terraced plots. We've installed a fair number locally and the realistic answer for terraced properties is typically a single split per room with carefully routed external pipework in matching paint to minimise visual impact.
Why this matters in Aldershot
On terraced Aldershot properties we frequently use wall-bracket-mounted outdoor units high on the rear elevation rather than on the patio — this keeps the patio usable, reduces noise transmission to neighbours, and stops the unit being kicked by garden tools. Wall brackets add about £150 to the install but are usually worth it.

Air Conditioning in Aldershot — common questions
Where can the outdoor unit go on an Aldershot terraced house?+
Three options: wall-bracket-mounted high on the rear elevation (usually best — out of the way, neighbour-quiet), ground-stand in the rear garden (cheapest but space-consuming), or side-return on a wall bracket if access allows. Survey usually shows clearly which works for your specific layout.
How long does an air con install take in Aldershot?+
Single-split unit: typically 1-2 days on site. Multi-split with multiple indoor heads: 3-5 days. Commissioned and handed over working the moment we leave — no return visits for the F-Gas signoff.
Do I need planning permission for air con in Aldershot?+
For most Aldershot homes no — outdoor units fall under permitted development if mounted 1m+ from the boundary. We check Rushmoor Borough Council planning rules at survey stage and tell you up front if your property is an exception (conservation area, listed building, flat with shared walls).
Can you fit air con in a Aldershot home office?+
Very common request now — single 2.5 kW wall-mounted unit, typically 1 day to install, around £1,800-£2,100 supplied and fitted. Pays back fast for anyone working from home through the summer.
