What Forres Homeowners Say About Our Air Conditioning Installation Specialists
Had a 3.5kW wall-mounted split fitted in the main bedroom in Forres. F-Gas registered engineer, refrigerant pipe run boxed in neatly to match the skirting, and they vacuum-tested before commissioning. £2714 all in including the condenser bracket and a 5-year warranty. Cools the room in minutes and the heat-pump mode took the chill off in winter too.
Compared three quotes for air conditioning through the site for our flat in Forres. The engineer was REFCOM certified and explained the F-Gas rules clearly with no hard sell. Came in at £2056 fitted, cheaper than the national chain quote. Tidy work, dust sheets down, and they took the old unit away.
Multi-split system fitted across three bedrooms in our home in Forres. One neat outdoor condenser instead of boxes everywhere, independent control in each room, and the pipework was run through the loft so nothing is on show. £6904 including commissioning and the F-Gas certificate. The whole upstairs stayed comfortable through the heatwave and it heats in winter as well.
