Why people call us

The jobs we get asked about most

It packed up in the heatwave

The week everything fails is the week nobody answers. Breakdowns get prioritised, and you get told honestly when we can be there.

Quoted without anyone looking

A kilowatt figure off a floor plan is a guess. We survey the room, the glazing and what runs in there before we put a size on it.

Worried about the noise

Indoor unit sited so it is not blowing across a bed, outdoor unit on anti-vibration mounts and away from windows - yours and the neighbours'.

Running costs

An oversized unit short-cycles and an undersized one never stops. Getting the size right is most of what makes the bill reasonable.

Mess and made-good

Cores drilled cleanly, pipework in trunking or chased in, and the holes made good rather than filled with foam and forgotten.

Nobody explained the controls

We commission it in front of you and set it up properly before we leave, rather than handing over a remote and a manual.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

Step 01

You call or send the form

Tell us the rooms and how they are used. We ask a few questions and book a survey.

Step 02

We survey and size it

Glazing, aspect, insulation, occupancy and equipment. The heat load decides the unit, not the other way round.

Step 03

We quote in writing

Itemised: units, pipework, electrics, made-good and days on site. No day-rate surprises.

Step 04

We install and commission

Pressure-tested, vacuumed, charged and set up with you, with the readings written down and left behind.

About us

Cambridge Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

Cambridge Air Conditioning and Refrigeration has been serving homes and businesses across Cambridge and the surrounding area for a number of years. We install, service and repair air conditioning and refrigeration systems, working with everything from a single bedroom unit in a Victorian terrace to multi-split commercial installations across larger premises.

What sets us apart is straightforward: we give honest advice before any money changes hands. If a repair makes more sense than a replacement, we will tell you. We size systems properly for the space rather than upselling capacity you do not need, and we explain running costs in plain terms so you know what you are committing to before we start.

Questions

Air conditioning questions, answered plainly

What should I budget for home air conditioning in Cambridge?
Most Cambridge homeowners pay between £1,200 and £2,500 per room for a supply-and-install split-system unit. The price depends on the output size needed, the length of the pipework run, and whether any difficult wall materials such as solid brick or stone are involved. A multi-room system with a single outdoor unit costs more upfront but tends to be better value than fitting separate systems later.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost per unit in Cambridge?
Installed costs for a commercial unit in Cambridge typically run from around £1,500 for a straightforward wall-mounted split to £4,000 or more for a ceiling cassette in a busy commercial environment with complex pipework. Larger multi-zone VRF systems are priced per project following a full heat load survey. We provide a detailed written quote before any work starts.
What am I likely to pay to have my air conditioning repaired in Cambridge?
A diagnostic call-out in Cambridge typically costs between £80 and £120, which is usually applied against the repair cost. The most common fault - a refrigerant leak, regas, and joint repair - usually comes to between £150 and £400 depending on how much refrigerant is needed and how accessible the leak is. Electrical component failures such as a capacitor or PCB board vary widely in parts cost. We quote before we proceed with any repair.
Is cellar cooling expensive to install in a Cambridge pub?
A dedicated cellar cooling system for a Cambridge pub or bar typically costs between £1,500 and £3,500 installed. The main variables are the volume of the cellar, how well insulated it is, the heat load from equipment, and whether the installation involves difficult wall materials or restricted access. We provide a fixed written quote after surveying the cellar so you know exactly what to expect.
What should I budget for air conditioning installation in Cambridge?
A single split system for one room typically costs between 1,500 and 2,500 pounds installed, including all pipework and electrical connections. A multi-split system covering three or four rooms usually falls in the 3,500 to 6,500 pound range, depending on pipework complexity and the brand of unit chosen. We provide a fixed quote after a free site survey so there are no surprises.
How often should my air conditioning system be serviced?
For most domestic systems, once a year is sufficient to keep the unit running efficiently and catch any developing faults. Commercial systems - particularly those covered by F-Gas regulations - may require checks every three or six months depending on the refrigerant charge. We will advise the correct interval for your specific installation when we carry out the first visit.
Is an air source heat pump expensive to run in Cambridge?
Running costs depend on your tariff, the efficiency of your installation, and how well-insulated your home is. A heat pump in a reasonably well-insulated Cambridge property typically costs less to run than an electric boiler and, for many households, is comparable to a gas boiler on current tariffs when you account for the higher efficiency. We can model estimated running costs as part of the free survey.
How is an air curtain priced - is it the unit cost or the installation that adds up?
Both elements count, but the unit itself is usually the larger part of the total cost. A commercial air curtain for a standard doorway typically costs between 250 and 700 pounds for the unit, with installation labour adding 150 to 250 pounds in most cases. Heated models and wider or taller doorways cost more. We quote both parts separately so you can see exactly where the money is going.
