Local air conditioning & refrigeration installers
What is the difference between air conditioning and refrigeration?
Air conditioning and refrigeration both involve cooling, but they serve different purposes and operate in different environments.
- Air Conditioning: Primarily designed to cool indoor spaces, air conditioning systems control temperature, humidity, and air quality in homes, offices, and other buildings. These systems often include both cooling and heating functions to maintain a comfortable indoor climate year-round.
- Refrigeration: Used mainly for preserving food and other perishable items, refrigeration systems maintain a specific low temperature to slow down bacterial growth and prevent spoilage. Common applications include refrigerators, freezers, and commercial cold storage units.
What does an air conditioning & refrigeration expert do?
Air conditioning and refrigeration experts provide a range of services to ensure your cooling systems function efficiently and reliably. Their tasks include:
- Installation: Fitting new air conditioning systems and refrigeration units, ensuring they are properly connected and configured for optimal performance.
- Repair: Diagnosing and fixing issues with existing systems, from minor repairs to major overhauls.
- Maintenance: Performing regular maintenance to keep systems running smoothly, which includes cleaning filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting electrical components.
- Upgrades: Replacing outdated or inefficient systems with newer, more energy-efficient models.
- Emergency Services: Providing prompt repairs in case of system failures to prevent discomfort or food spoilage.
Cost of air conditioning & refrigeration installation & repair
The cost of air conditioning and refrigeration services can vary based on several factors, including the type of system, the complexity of the installation or repair, and the location of your property. Here are some general cost estimates:
Air Conditioning
- Installation: £1,000 to £3,000 for a standard split system. More complex installations, such as central air conditioning systems, can cost £5,000 or more.
- Repair: £50 to £200 for minor repairs, such as fixing leaks or replacing filters. Major repairs, like compressor replacement, can range from £300 to £1,000.
- Maintenance: £75 to £150 for a routine maintenance visit, which includes checking and cleaning components, and ensuring the system is running efficiently.
Refrigeration
- Installation: £500 to £2,000 for domestic refrigeration units. Commercial systems can cost significantly more, depending on the size and complexity.
- Repair: £50 to £200 for minor repairs. Major repairs, such as fixing a faulty compressor, can range from £200 to £1,000.
- Maintenance: £50 to £150 per visit for routine maintenance, which includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting electrical components.
Other air conditioning & refrigeration FAQs
Is Refrigeration Cooling Better Than Air Conditioning?
Refrigeration and air conditioning are designed for different purposes, so one isn’t necessarily “better” than the other. Refrigeration is better for preserving perishable items at low temperatures, while air conditioning is ideal for cooling and maintaining comfortable indoor environments.
Does AC Consume More Electricity Than a Refrigerator?
Generally, air conditioning systems consume more electricity than refrigerators due to their larger size and the need to cool entire rooms or buildings. The exact consumption depends on the model and usage patterns.
Do We Need to Fill Water in an Air Cooler?
Yes, evaporative air coolers (also known as swamp coolers) require water to function. The water evaporates to cool the air, so it’s necessary to keep the water reservoir filled.

Contractors made arrangements to call, arrived on time, they seemed very nice & efficient; however we did not receive a quote as promised, when I queried it; he apologized saying he thought he had emailed me to say it would be late as he had broken his collarbone. Then I received a text saying he wasn't going to quote as he was off sick for 6 weeks, so unfortunately we are unable to rate his work...
