EXCELLENT Based on 6 reviews Posted on Google Jackie DohertyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommended. From first meeting to installation was just 10 days! Very friendly, courteous staff, considerate of our needs.Posted on Google Alex A (Alex)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries air conditioning system installed in my garden room by Preferred Cooling, and I couldn't be happier with the result. From the initial enquiry through to installation, Russ and the team were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with. They helped me choose a 2kW Mitsubishi Heavy Industries system that was perfectly sized for my garden room. The unit is compact, modern-looking, and remarkably quiet in operation. Even running at higher output, it's barely noticeable, and in silent mode it's virtually whisper-quiet. The installation itself was completed to a very high standard. All of the pipework, cabling, and trunking have been routed neatly and discreetly, giving the finished job a professional appearance both inside and outside the building. As the outdoor unit needed to be free-standing rather than wall-mounted, the team took care to position everything neatly and securely. An unusual issue arose during the installation when the external isolator switch, which had been fitted separately by my electrician, turned out to have failed. Rather than treating it as a problem, the team quickly diagnosed the fault, explained what had happened, and fitted a replacement so the installation could be completed without delay. Their experience and practical approach were very reassuring. The performance of the system has exceeded my expectations. It cools the room very quickly and maintains a comfortable temperature with very little noise. One of the reasons I chose this model was its excellent energy efficiency rating, air filtration features, and the ability to provide heating as well as cooling, meaning the garden room can now be used comfortably throughout the year regardless of the weather. The team were punctual, courteous, and left everything clean and tidy when they finished. It's clear they take pride in their work and pay attention to the details. The quality of the installation and overall experience has been so positive that I'm already looking at having air conditioning installed in our house, and Preferred Cooling will be my first call. I would be more than happy to have Russ and the team back to carry out the work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Preferred Cooling to anyone considering air conditioning for a garden room, home office, or any other space.Posted on Google Anthony WiseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Yes. We provide air conditioning installation, servicing, maintenance and repair services throughout Reigate, Redhill and the surrounding RH1 and RH2 postcodes. We work with both homeowners and businesses, covering everything from single-room domestic installations to larger commercial air conditioning projects. Our local coverage allows us to respond quickly and provide a reliable, personalised service.
The cost of installation depends on several factors, including the type of system required, the size of the property, the number of rooms being served and the complexity of the installation. A single-room system will typically cost less than a multi-room or commercial solution. We provide free site surveys and detailed quotations, allowing us to recommend the most suitable system for your requirements and budget.
Most domestic wall-mounted split-system installations can be completed within a single day. Multi-room systems generally take between one and two days, depending on the layout of the property and the number of indoor units being installed. Commercial installations can vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the project, but we will provide a clear installation schedule before any work begins.
In most cases, domestic air conditioning installations fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission. However, there can be exceptions for listed buildings, conservation areas or properties with specific planning restrictions. During the survey process, we will advise you if any permissions may be required and help ensure the installation complies with relevant regulations.
Yes. Modern air conditioning systems use heat pump technology, allowing them to provide both cooling during the summer and efficient heating during the winter. This makes them a versatile year-round solution for maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures. Many homeowners and businesses also benefit from lower running costs compared to traditional electric heating systems.
We recommend annual servicing for domestic air conditioning systems to maintain efficiency, performance and manufacturer warranty requirements. Commercial systems that operate more frequently should generally be serviced twice a year. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues early, improves energy efficiency, extends the lifespan of the equipment and reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.
