A single-room split installation in Tunstall typically takes one full day. Multi-zone or harder-access properties (especially older properties near The 1893 Clock Tower in Tower Square, with Tunstall's 1885 Town Hall behind it) can take 2–3 days. We confirm the timeline at the survey stage.

Yes — we cover Tunstall and the wider Staffordshire area, including Goldenhill, Sandyford, Newfield and Pitts Hill, Great Chell, Little Chell, Chell Heath, Fegg Hayes, Brownhills, Burslem. We operate within a 50-mile radius of Stoke-on-Trent, so same-day or next-day surveys are usually available.

Yes. All Airtastic engineers are F-Gas (Category 1) certified, fully insured and trained on the major manufacturers including Daikin, Mitsubishi, Samsung, LG, Fujitsu and Haier.

Yes, and a great deal of Tunstall's housing is exactly that. Solid brick with no cavity is not difficult to core, it just has to be done carefully and from the right side. The real questions are where the outdoor unit sits in a tight yard reached through a shared entry, whether it goes on a wall bracket or on ground feet, and where the condensate discharges. All three get settled at the survey rather than on the day.

It does not rule it out, but it changes the design. Tunstall has three conservation areas: Tower Square and the town-centre streets around it; Park Terrace, covering Park Terrace, Greengates Street, Salisbury Street, Hunt Street and their neighbours; and Victoria Park. Article 4 directions are in force across a number of the city's conservation areas, which removes permitted development rights that would otherwise apply and means planning permission has to be applied for where it normally would not. There are also a number of listed buildings in and around the town centre, including the Clock Tower, the Town Hall and the market hall. We survey with that in mind, keep outdoor units and visible pipework off principal elevations where we can, and will tell you when you should speak to Stoke-on-Trent City Council first. Listed building consent is a separate consent from planning permission.

Often not, but it is not safe to assume. The permitted development rules that cover domestic heat pumps are not a blanket permission for every air conditioning outdoor unit, and they are considerably tighter in conservation areas and where a unit would be visible from a road. Listed buildings need separate listed building consent regardless. If your preferred position looks like one that needs checking, we flag it at survey stage, and the check is a short enquiry to the city council's planning team. Far better to raise it before installation than after.

A single-room installation typically comes in between £1,400 and £2,700, fitted and commissioned. A residential service visit is typically £45 for a single unit. Repairs are quoted after diagnosis, because a blocked condensate drain and a failed compressor produce similar complaints and very different bills. Commercial installations and maintenance contracts are quoted against the actual asset list and the actual building. Every quote follows a free, no-obligation survey and is fixed in writing before work starts.

It will. Modern systems are reverse cycle, running at a coefficient of performance of roughly 3.5 to 4.5, so they return several units of heat for each unit of electricity used. In practice most ST6 customers buy them for cooling and shoulder-season comfort rather than as a heating replacement, because the large majority of homes around here already have full gas central heating. Being able to take the chill off a bedroom or a home office in October without firing up the whole boiler is a genuine bonus rather than the main reason people call.
