pangbourne°C A / C  LTD

Thirty years on the tools, now doing it properly.

Pangbourne A/C is a new business built on an old-fashioned idea: turn up when we say we will, do the job properly, and stand behind it afterwards.

Who you'll be dealing with

After experiencing the poor workmanship and unreliable service that too often exists in the air-conditioning industry, Lee and Sam knew customers deserved better. They founded Pangbourne A/C to provide expert advice, high-quality installations and dependable service for homes and small businesses.

Lee started Pangbourne A/C to bring that standard to home cooling: rooms measured one by one, systems sized to the house rather than the sale, and work you'd be happy to have done in your own home.

The founders

Lee Frain has spent the better part of thirty years in construction across the Thames Valley, long enough to know the difference between a job done properly and a job done quickly.

Sam Pemberton is a respected business Chairman and CEO of several international businesses.

The standard we hold ourselves to.

We wrote our promises down on the homepage so you can quote them back at us. Behind them are a few simple commitments:

  • We size to the room, not to the sale: the right unit, even when it's the smaller one.
  • We answer the phone, and answer after-sales queries just as readily.
  • We leave your home cleaner than a building site has any right to be.
  • We never hide fees. The proposal you sign is the price you pay.

Every installation begins with careful design. We size each system to the room: dimensions, orientation, glazing, insulation, occupancy and how the space is actually used, not a floor-area guess.

We install to the standard we'd want in our own home. Clear communication throughout, and the property left clean and tidy.

Pricing is straightforward: no gimmicks, no hidden extras, no surprises on the invoice. We may not always be the cheapest, but honest workmanship, clear advice and reliable aftercare are worth paying for.
