AIR CONDITIONING
Installation for Homes & Businesses in Exeter
Westmancoat provides professional air conditioning installation throughout Exeter, from single-room residential systems to multi-room and commercial heating and cooling installations. Modern air conditioning gives you precise control over the temperature of individual rooms and can provide both cooling and heating from the same system.
We work with homeowners, landlords and businesses across Exeter, designing installations around the building rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Westmancoat is an established East Devon heating and cooling company, trading since 1962, with our premises located nearby in Exmouth.
DOMESTIC
Air Conditioning in Exeter
Increasing summer temperatures and changing working patterns mean more homeowners are considering air conditioning.
Rooms with large windows, loft conversions and modern extensions can become particularly warm, while home offices often contain computers and other equipment generating additional heat.
We can design air conditioning for:
- Houses
- Apartments
- Home offices
- Bedrooms
- Open-plan living spaces
- Loft conversions
- Extensions
- Garden rooms
- Multiple rooms within the same property
A single split system may be sufficient for one room, while properties requiring heating or cooling in several areas may benefit from a different system configuration.
We’ll assess the property before recommending the equipment.
COMMERCIAL
Air Conditioning in Exeter
Exeter has a large mix of offices, retail premises, hospitality businesses and other commercial buildings where maintaining a comfortable working environment can be difficult using conventional heating alone.
Air conditioning allows individual areas to be heated or cooled according to how they’re being used.
Westmancoat can provide commercial air conditioning installations in Exeter for:
- Offices
- Retail premises
- Shops
- Salons and treatment rooms
- Showrooms
- Restaurants and cafés
- Workshops
- Small commercial buildings
We can look at occupancy, room usage, heat-generating equipment and the layout of the building before recommending a system.
AIR CONDITIONING
for Exeter Offices
Office temperatures can vary significantly between different parts of the same building.
Computers, people, glazing and solar gain can all increase temperatures, while individual offices or meeting rooms may only be occupied for part of the day.
Air conditioning can provide independent temperature control for these spaces rather than relying solely on one central heating system.
For businesses considering replacing older equipment, we can also assess the existing installation and discuss suitable modern alternatives.
AIR TO AIR HEAT PUMPS
for Exeter Properties
Many people think of air conditioning solely as cooling.
Modern split air conditioning systems usually operate as air-to-air heat pumps, extracting heat from outside air and transferring it into the building when operating in heating mode.
That means the same system can provide:
- Summer cooling
- Winter heating
- Individual room temperature control
For certain applications this can make air conditioning a practical year-round heating and cooling solution rather than equipment that’s only used for a few weeks each summer.
DESIGNING
the Right System
Correct system design is important.
An oversized unit isn’t automatically better, and choosing equipment purely from room dimensions can overlook several factors that influence heating and cooling requirements.
When considering an Exeter installation, we’ll look at factors such as:
- Room dimensions
- Building construction
- Insulation
- Window area and orientation
- Solar gain
- Occupancy
- Electrical equipment
- Intended use of the room
- Indoor unit location
- Outdoor unit location
- Refrigerant pipework
- Condensate drainage
We can then recommend equipment with an appropriate output and configuration.
SINGLE-SPLIT & MULTI-ROOM
Air Conditioning
For one room, the solution may be a straightforward system with one indoor unit connected to an outdoor unit.
Where several rooms need independent temperature control, we can consider alternative arrangements, including multi-split systems where appropriate.
The best option isn’t necessarily the same for every property.
We’ll consider equipment location, pipework distances, how frequently individual rooms will be used and the overall installation before recommending a solution.
F-GAS REGISTERED
Air Conditioning Installation
Air conditioning and heat pump systems containing F-Gas refrigerants are subject to regulations covering their installation and handling.
Westmancoat is F-Gas registered through REFCOM, with refrigerant work undertaken by appropriately qualified personnel.
Systems are installed and commissioned correctly, with relevant refrigerant records maintained where required.
AIR CONDITIONING
Servicing & Maintenance in Exeter
Air conditioning needs maintenance just like other heating and cooling equipment.
Filters and heat exchangers can accumulate dust, condensate drains need to remain clear and the general condition and operation of the system should be checked periodically.
Westmancoat provides air conditioning servicing in Exeter for domestic and commercial customers.
Regular maintenance can help maintain airflow, efficiency and reliability while allowing potential issues to be identified early.

How Much Does Air Conditioning Cost in Exeter?
There’s no meaningful single price for an air conditioning installation because the requirements of an individual bedroom are very different from an office or multi-room property.
The quotation will depend on factors including:
- Required heating and cooling capacity
- Number of rooms
- Number of indoor units
- Equipment specification
- Pipework distances
- Outdoor unit location
- Access
- Condensate drainage
- Electrical requirements
We can assess the property and provide a quotation based on the system and installation actually required.

FAQs
Is air conditioning suitable for an office?
Yes. Offices are particularly well suited to air conditioning because different areas can be controlled independently and systems can provide heating as well as cooling.
Can one system control several rooms?
There are systems capable of serving multiple rooms, including multi-split configurations. Whether this is preferable to separate systems depends on the building and how the rooms will be used.
Can air conditioning replace radiators?
In some applications, air-to-air heat pumps can provide the primary heating for a room. Whether they should replace an existing heating system depends on the property and how you intend to use it.
