Had TM Hughes & Sons install a new boiler and couldnโ€™t be happier with the service. They were professional from start to finish, arrived on time, and got the job done efficiently with minimal disruption. The engineers were friendly, tidy, and clearly knew what they were doing. Everything was explained clearly, including how the new system works. Would definitely recommend them and wouldnโ€™t hesitate to use them again for future work.

Air Conditioning Installation

Air Conditioning for the home and business is available in many solutions to suit every space and situation. We offer free, no-obligation quotes, which our engineers undertake. They have many years of experience installing Air Conditioning systems.

Air Conditioning installation is very flexible and can be fitted to serve a single room or your entire home/business premises.

During the survey, the engineer will calculate the cooling load and the amount of heat and humidity which needs to be removed to cool your space adequately.

Calculating the cooling load enables our engineers to provide you with an accurate estimate of running costs based on current energy prices.

Our engineer will go through the different types of AC units with you. These include 

Split Air Conditioning

A split air conditioning system consists of two main components: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit.

The indoor unit houses the evaporator coil and the air handling unit, while the outdoor unit houses the compressor and condenser.

Refrigerant lines and electrical wiring connect these two units.

  • Easy installation, as it requires no ductwork.
  • Quiet operation, as the noisy components (compressor and condenser) are located outside.
  • Individual temperature control for each room.
  • Energy-efficient, as there is no loss of cooled or heated air through ducts.
  • Ideal for cooling a single room or a small area.
  • The unit is attached to the wall or ceiling.

Multi-Split Air Conditioning 

A multi-split system extends the split system, where multiple indoor units are connected to a single outdoor unit.

Each indoor unit can be controlled individually, allowing different temperature settings in separate rooms or zones.

  • Efficient cooling and heating for multiple rooms or zones using a single outdoor unit.
  • Individual temperature control for each room.
  • Reduced installation costs compared to installing separate split systems for each room.
  • Energy-efficient.
  • More complex installation compared to a single split system.
  • The outdoor unit size may be larger and require more space.

Central Air Conditioning

Central air conditioning systems use a single, large unit to cool and heat the entire building or multiple rooms.

Central systems consist of a main unit, which houses the evaporator, compressor, and condenser, and a system of ductwork which distributes the conditioned air throughout the building.

  • Provides uniform temperature control for the entire building.
  • Aesthetically pleasing, as the indoor components are hidden in the ceiling or walls.
  • It can include air filtration and humidity control for improved indoor air quality.
  • It requires ductwork, making installation more expensive and time-consuming.
  • Requires more space for installation

Summary Of Air Conditioning Systems 

  • Split air conditioning systems are best suited for cooling a single room.
  • Multi-split systems are ideal for cooling multiple rooms with individual temperature control, allowing for precise temperature adjustments in each room.
  • Central air conditioning systems provide uniform temperature control for larger buildings. 

Each system has its Advantages and disadvantages, so the choice will depend on factors such as the size and shape of the area to be cooled, as well as your budget.

Our engineer will determine the best type of Air Conditioning system for your space and budget. 

Your space will be measured and analysed so the engineer can plan the best position for the Air Conditioning units.

Following the survey, our engineer will obtain prices for the materials and send you a free, no-obligation quote.

Feel free to ask our engineer any questions during the survey. Our engineer will also provide work details and an estimated installation timescale.

Air Conditioning Repairs

We have engineers on hand to attend to Air Conditioning breakdowns. We understand that a cool, controlled environment can be a necessity.

For some, it’s essential for health reasons, and for others, it’s essential for day-to-day business operations.

Typical Repairs Include:

  • Leak repairs
  • Electrical faults
  • Drainage issues
  • Sensor problems

No Call-Out Charges 

Our Air Conditioning Repair services include no call-out charges. Our rates are also very reasonable.

We can undertake all types of Air Conditioning Repairs in Colchester, including leaks, electrical issues, drainage problems, and sensor malfunctions.

We have a high success rate with Air Conditioning Repairs and will have your system back up and running swiftly.

Air Conditioning Servicing

The best way to ensure your Air Conditioning never breaks down is regular servicing. We service all types of Air Conditioning in Colchester.

Servicing enables engineers to identify and rectify issues before they escalate into more costly problems.

Air Conditioning ducts and vents must be cleared of dirt and dust to ensure correct airflow.

Not only does servicing offer protection against breakdown, but it also ensures your system is clean, runs efficiently, and does not waste excess energy. 

Following a service, your system is thoroughly tested and adjusted if necessary, and certification indicates that a certified engineer has serviced your Air Conditioning.

Servicing includes:

  • Cleaning ducts and filters
  • Efficiency and performance checks
  • Adjustments as needed
  • Certification by a qualified engineer

Many homes and commercial buildings in Colchester use Air Conditioning in warmer weather and rely on Boilers or Underfloor Heating for heating. We service and repair all systems, so all maintenance is handled by one experienced team.
