Why we don't skip a site visit?

Installing air conditioning without a site visit is a bit like ordering a tailored suit online without taking any measurements. It might fit… but chances are it won’t, and no one’s happy with the result. At Leicester Air Conditioning Services, we always carry out a site visit before installation not because we like extra steps, but because it’s the only way to design a system that actually works properly. It’s also a chance for you to meet the people behind the business and for us to get to know you, your space, and how you’ll be using it day to day.
Every Building Has Its Own Personality (Some Are More Difficult Than Others)
No two properties are the same. Even rooms that look similar on paper can behave completely differently when it comes to heat, airflow, and energy use.
A site visit allows us to properly assess:
Room size, ceiling height, and layout
How the room is actually used day to day
Without this, systems can end up undersized (working flat out and never quite getting there) or oversized (short cycling, wasting energy, and costing more than they should).
Neither is ideal and both are avoidable with a bit of time on site.
Because Pipework Doesn’t Magically Hide Itself
We’d all love pipework to disappear into thin air. Unfortunately, it doesn’t.
During a site visit, we plan:
Pipe routes
Electrical supply
Condensate drainage
Access for installation and future servicing
This means fewer surprises, less visible trunking, and a much cleaner finish. It also means install day runs smoothly without anyone suddenly discovering there’s no power where it’s needed.
Unit Placement Matters More Than You Think
Where an air conditioning unit is installed affects:
Cooling and heating performance
Noise levels
Airflow comfort
How it looks in the room
A site visit lets us recommend the best position, not just the quickest or easiest one. The goal is simple: a system that works efficiently and blends into your space.
Accurate Quotes, Not “That’ll Be About…”
One of the biggest benefits of a site visit is accurate pricing.
By seeing the job properly, we can provide a clear, fixed quotation with no guesswork and no last-minute add-ons. What we quote is what you pay no awkward conversations required.
Doing It Properly (Because Fixing It Later Costs More)
A well-planned air conditioning installation lasts longer, performs better, and costs less to run. A site visit allows us to design the system correctly from day one saving time, money, and frustration down the line.
At Leicester Air Conditioning Services, we’d rather do the job once and do it right.
