The basics

What is modern air conditioning?

A modern split air conditioner is really an air-to-air heat pump. Instead of making heat or cold, it moves heat: out of your room in summer, and in from the outside air in winter. So one system cools in summer and heats in winter.

Cools and heats

Switch between cooling on hot summer days and heating through autumn and winter, from the same indoor unit.

About 1kW in, 3kW out

Because it moves heat rather than making it, roughly 1kW of electricity gives around 3kW of heating or cooling, often more. The exact figure depends on the unit and the weather.

Takes moisture out

In cooling and dry mode it pulls water out of the air, which helps with damp, musty rooms and condensation. Dry mode can be used all year round.

Quiet

Indoor units are designed to run quietly, so they suit bedrooms and home offices.

Inverter control

The compressor speeds up and slows down to hold the temperature you set, rather than switching hard on and off.

Filters and app control

Built-in filters catch dust in the air passing through, and many models can be set from your phone.

Good to know: heating mode warms the air without adding moisture to it. Features vary by make and model, and we'll talk you through the options at your survey.

Air conditioning

Single split AC units fitted from £1,795

A single split is the simplest home air con: one indoor unit on the wall, linked to one outdoor unit outside. It cools and heats one room, such as a bedroom, living room or home office.

  • One indoor unit + one outdoor unit
  • Cools in summer, heats in winter
  • Quiet, controlled by remote or app

Final price depends on your home and the install, confirmed in writing after a site survey.

Heating that also cools

An air-to-air heat pump is the same kind of system as modern air con, run in reverse. It pulls warmth from the outside air, even on cold days, and blows it into your rooms.

  • Cooling and dehumidifying in summer from the same unit

Heat pump grants

Government grants for heat pumps

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can take money off the cost of a heat pump in England and Wales. Here's a plain guide to what's on offer.

ACHP can only apply for the grant for you once we are MCS certified to confirm

Air source & ground source

£7,500

Towards an air source (air-to-water) or ground source heat pump that heats your radiators and hot water.

Extra £1,500 until March 2027 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas.

Official grant amounts (GOV.UK)

Air-to-air heat pumps

£2,500

Towards an air-to-air heat pump, the kind of split system that heats and cools. Available since 21 July 2026, for homes only.

Your home must also have low-carbon hot water heating, and the system must be able to heat your whole home.

Official notice (GOV.UK)
Cooling-only air conditioning does not qualify. The grant is only for heat pumps that replace fossil fuel or electric heating.

Who can get it

  • You own the property, in England or Wales.
  • You're replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, such as gas, oil, LPG or electric heaters.
  • The heat pump is installed by an MCS certified installer, who applies for you. The grant comes off your quote.
  • Not for most new builds, social housing, or homes that already had government funding for a heat pump.
  • Your EPC isn't a requirement, but better insulation helps a heat pump work well.

Check eligibility on GOV.UK · Ofgem guide for property owners

Checked against GOV.UK and Ofgem on 27 October 2026. Grant rules can change, so always check the official pages.

FAQ

Common questions

Can air conditioning heat my home too?

Yes. Most modern split systems are air-to-air heat pumps, so the same unit can heat in winter and cool in summer.

Do I need planning permission?

Many homes can fit an outdoor unit under permitted development, but there are conditions, and listed buildings or conservation areas may differ. We'll flag anything to check at the survey.

How long does an installation take?

It depends on the system and your home. We'll give you a realistic timescale with your quote.

How often should air con be serviced?

Manufacturers usually recommend at least once a year to keep it efficient and protect any warranty. See our annual service contract.

Is it noisy?

Modern indoor units are quiet, and we'll plan the outdoor unit's position with you and your neighbours in mind.

Do you service systems you didn't fit?

Usually, yes. Call us with the make and model and we'll let you know.
