What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Avonaire Air Conditioning of Bristol earns consistently warm feedback for the way its staff handle jobs from the first visit through to handover. Customers in several reviews describe the fitters as polite, efficient and knowledgeable, and Geoff receives particular credit for talking through options during consultation and returning to address potential snags before installation. A theme running through the accounts is respect for the property: work was carried out with minimal disturbance, and the site was left clean and free of debris, including one retrofit of four cooling units where the householder had been anxious about how the external pipework would look.

Completed work covers air conditioning in offices and homes, a heat pump serving a small furniture workshop, a Panasonic monobloc unit fitted into a loft despite difficult roof access, and replacement air handling equipment in a large commercial building near Bristol, where Dave was thanked for money-saving advice and pricing described as transparent and reasonable. Enquiries drew prompt, informative replies, and the finished systems are reported to run quietly and reliably, with the standard of installation itself attracting praise.

We recently had 4 air-conditioning units fitted by Avonair and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. The engineers were professional, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. Any disruption was kept to an absolute minimum and they left zero mess behind, which we really appreciated. As this was a retrofit installation, I was quite concerned about how the external units and pipework would look on the house, but the quality of the finish is genuinely first class. Everything has been installed neatly and sympathetically, and the final result looks far better than we expected. Would highly recommend Avonair to anyone considering air conditioning at home.

I own a 20 year old office building of 8000 sq ft near Bristol. The air handling needed replacing and I commissioned Avonaire. The service has been first class in every respect and the pricing was totally transparent and fair. Dave gave me excellent money saving advice. My tenant has been effusive in his praise for the way Avonaire worked around his staff. 5 stars without question.

We had a great experience with Avonaire, who supplied and installed a Panasonic monobloc unit in our loft, ahead of the inevitable summer heat waves that used to make sleeping in the room unbearable. It's a great piece of kit and Avonaire did an excellent job of installing it despite very tricky roof access, we would recommend them!

The very best experience from start to finish! From the outset, Avonaire were fantastic. Geoff visited us during our loft extension works and put together a quote and plan to get us set up. We were very impressed with how quickly he visited and provided the quote. He was friendly, informative and professional which gave us the utmost confidence and was the deciding factor in choosing Avonaire over other quotes. He recommended a great product for our needs and was able to advise us for our needs with a great deal of knowledge around the products and fitting process. We had a slightly complicated staging process for the works due to scaffolding and some external works but Sarah and Geoff guided us through the process, which was further elongated due to delays with our building works. The customer service and professionalism from both Geoff and Sarah were excellent throughout and it was always a pleasure to speak to both of them when we needed to update them or make payments. The engineers who attended our property to fit the units (Callum and Harry?) were equally excellent. They treated the property with respect and worked tirelessly in all weather to get the job finished. Their attention to detail in the fitting is excellent and the external unit, trunking and internal units look so smart! Once fitted, they took time to explain the product and did a thorough handover with documentation and tested the units. The attention to detail and care they took over their work is some of the best we have ever seen. Thank you guys! Couldn't ask for a better experience all round, what a fantastic business! Thank you Avonaire!

Excellent service from the Avonaire team from initial enquiry to installation. The air conditioning unit has been perfect during this summer’s heat wave. Thank you.
