Air conditioning for Ashford’s new homes and growing businesses
Ashford has grown quickly, and so has demand for comfortable homes and workplaces.
Many of the homes we see around Ashford are modern builds on newer estates. They’re warm, efficient and airtight — which is great in winter but can make bedrooms uncomfortably hot in summer. A neatly installed home air conditioning or multi split system solves the problem for good.
On the commercial side, the town’s offices, retail parks and industrial units near the M20 need reliable cooling for staff and equipment. We design, install and maintain systems for both.
Why new-build homes overheat — and how air conditioning helps
If your new home is stuffy and hot in summer, you’re far from alone.
Why do new-build homes get so hot?
Modern homes are built to keep heat in: high levels of insulation, airtight construction and often large windows. On sunny days, heat that gets in has nowhere to go — which is why overheating has become a recognised issue, addressed for new homes in England by Building Regulations Approved Document O since 2022.
What’s the best air conditioning for a new-build?
Wall-mounted split units are the most common choice for bedrooms and living rooms. If you’d like to cool several rooms, a multi split system keeps the number of outdoor units to a minimum — useful on estates where the look of the street matters.
Do I need permission from the developer?
Some estates have covenants or management-company rules about external alterations, especially on front elevations. Check your paperwork first; rear and side elevations are usually the simplest places for outdoor units.
