F-Gas certified engineers installing, servicing and repairing air conditioning for homes and businesses across Newcastle and the North East.
Accredited & approved installers
Newcastle Air Conditioning installs, services and repairs air conditioning for homes, offices and commercial buildings across Newcastle upon Tyne and the North East.
Our F-Gas certified engineers handle the whole job: the survey, the system design, the installation, and the servicing and repairs that follow. A correctly sized system holds rooms at a steady temperature, controls humidity and costs less to run than electric heaters.
Installations start from £1,800. Quotes and design consultations are free within a 10 mile radius; there's a small charge for surveys further out.
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, lounges and home offices, and a multi-split system can run several rooms from one outdoor unit. We take care of the survey, pipework, mounting and testing, and design each installation to run quietly on as little energy as possible.
Offices, shops, server rooms and industrial units, installed to UK Building Regulations. Every commercial job comes with a risk assessment, method statement and equipment specification, and we commission each system with digital gauges, vacuum pumps and leak detectors.
An annual service is £85 plus VAT and covers filter cleaning, coil treatment, refrigerant checks and performance testing. Most systems do best with two visits a year, before summer and before winter. Maintenance contracts are available for homes and businesses.
Breakdowns tend to happen in the hottest and coldest weeks of the year. Our engineers carry spare parts and diagnostic tools. We fix refrigerant leaks, PCB failures, compressor faults and blocked drains.
The systems we install are heat pumps, so the same indoor unit cools the room in summer and heats it in winter.
In heating mode the unit draws warmth from the outside air, even in cold weather, and releases it indoors. Moving heat uses far less electricity than generating it, which makes it an efficient way to heat the rooms you actually use, such as a home office or bedroom. Multi-zone systems let you set a different temperature in each room.
Inverter compressors adjust their speed to hold a steady temperature, so they're quieter and use less power than older on/off units. The system also takes moisture out of the air and filters dust and allergens, which helps in rooms with large windows or poor ventilation. Most new systems can be controlled from a phone app or a voice assistant.
We recommend a system at the survey, based on the size, layout and insulation of the property. Everything we fit uses A++ rated inverter technology.
| System | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Wall-mounted split | Bedrooms, lounges, home offices and small offices | The most popular choice. Compact, quick to install and quiet. |
| Multi-split | Homes or offices that need several rooms done | Several indoor units on one outdoor unit, each room with its own controls. |
| Ceiling cassette | Open-plan spaces, offices and shops | Fitted flush into a suspended ceiling and sends air out in four directions. |
| Ducted | New builds, full refurbishments and commercial fit-outs | Ducts and vents are hidden. In most existing homes a split system is the better fit. |
For larger buildings we also design VRF/VRV systems. Every system we fit is a heat pump, so it heats as well as cools.
Our engineers have over 20 years of experience with homes and businesses across Newcastle and the North East.
Our rule is to treat every property as if it were our own.
Newcastle Air Conditioning was founded by Karl Hudson and Alan Bowman. Both have extensive experience in air conditioning, property maintenance and technical service, and both still work in the business day to day.
They set the company up to give the North East an air conditioning firm that is reliable, open about its pricing and good at what it does.
We supply and install systems from these manufacturers and will recommend the one that suits your space and budget.
We install Samsung, LG, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Daikin, Midea, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric.
An engineer looks at the property, talks through where you need heating or cooling and recommends a system.
You get a detailed quote showing the system, the installation plan and the total cost, with no hidden extras.
We book a date that suits you. The engineers keep the work area tidy and test everything before sign-off.
We show you the controls and timers, register your warranty and follow up to check you're happy.
Pay by bank transfer, debit or credit card, or business invoice.
Every new system comes with a manufacturer warranty. Depending on the brand, that can extend to ten years when you take one of our maintenance plans.
We register and document every system, and if something goes wrong our in-house team handles the claim, so you never have to deal with the manufacturer yourself. Customers on a maintenance plan get priority response in busy periods, discounted service rates and a reminder before each service is due.
Before any job starts we write a risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) for the site. Engineers follow PPE and safe brazing procedures when connecting refrigerant lines, and their health and safety training is kept up to date.
We manage every project in-house from survey to completion, including work on heritage and listed buildings, where the installation is planned around the original structure. For larger commercial sites we can connect systems to a building management system (BMS) for remote monitoring and early fault detection.
All the systems we install are A++ rated. We use low-GWP refrigerants where we can, recover and dispose of old refrigerant properly, and recycle old equipment and packaging wherever possible.
Smart controls help too: you can set timers and check energy use from your phone, so the system only runs when you need it.
We hire locally, support apprenticeships in the North East and work with builders, developers, landlords and facility managers on projects of every size.
Most of our new work comes from referrals and repeat customers, and our reviews on Google and Facebook are five-star. Customers tend to mention the same things: the engineers turn up on time, work cleanly and pay attention to detail.
We don't usually recommend it. In most homes around Newcastle the ceilings and walls would need a lot of work to fit the ducts and vents, so we normally install split or multi-split units instead.
Between £1,800 and £9,000 for most homes. It depends on the size of the property and how many units you need.
£85 plus VAT for a residential service.
£100 plus VAT for an engineer to visit and find out what's wrong. Parts and any further labour are quoted separately.
It depends on the floor area, the ceiling height, how well the room is insulated and the local climate. We work it out for each room at the survey.
Go by the size of the space, how much cooling you need, your budget and whether the building already has ductwork. Most UK homes only need an external wall for a wall-mounted unit.
At least once a year to keep it efficient and avoid breakdowns. Most systems do best with two services, one before summer and one before winter.
Only if you hold F-Gas certification, which you need to buy most split units and the refrigerant gas. A system that isn't fitted by an F-Gas registered engineer can also void the warranty and your house insurance.
SEER measures how efficiently a unit cools over a season. A higher rating means it uses less energy, which usually means lower bills.
Usually 10 to 20 years, depending on the model, how much it's used and how well it's maintained.
Frequent repairs, rising running costs, unusual noises, or a unit that's more than 10 years old.
Have it serviced regularly, use the timers or a programmable thermostat, and improve the insulation in the rooms it heats or cools.
The government currently offers a VAT saving on residential installations of air source heat pumps, and wall-mounted split units that meet the requirements qualify. Ask us which systems are eligible.
Great service from initial contact to the air conditioning installation. It came in handy just before the heat wave. I would highly recommend them.
Alan and his team have been great. They helped us understand where and why we would want air con in our home. We are cool now.
Alan was a true professional took him roughly 5 hours to do the air con installation in my home and left everything as clean as possible.
