Highfields Air Conditioning provides professional air conditioning installation, servicing and maintenance across the Midlands from our base in Derby, including Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire. We work with homeowners and commercial businesses, designing systems that are efficient, reliable and tailored to each property. Whether you're looking to cool a single room or an entire building, our experienced team will recommend the right solution without overselling equipment you don't need.
At Highfields Air Conditioning, every installation starts with understanding your property and how you use it. Whether you're cooling a bedroom, an office or a warehouse, we'll recommend a system that delivers the comfort you need—without paying for features you don't.
We plan every installation carefully, keep pipework as discreet as possible, protect your property while we work and leave your space exactly as we'd want our own.
One of the biggest misconceptions about air conditioning is the cost. While every home is different, most installations fall into a handful of common system types. Here are typical installed prices to help you plan your project.
Every quotation includes a free home survey, honest advice and a professionally installed system that's designed around your home.
Every Samsung system we fit is one of two kinds. The difference is how many indoor units share one outdoor unit.
A single split connects one outdoor unit to one indoor unit. It gives targeted cooling and heating for one room or one open zone, and Samsung offers a wide choice of indoor and outdoor units to match the space.
A multi split connects one outdoor unit to up to five indoor units. That means one outdoor unit on the wall instead of several. Every indoor unit is controlled separately, so rooms and zones can be cooled or heated to different settings.
Indoor units from 1.6 to 6.8 kW can be mixed on one outdoor unit. Each room can be up to 25 m of pipe from the outdoor unit (on the 4.0 to 5.2 kW models), and the heating range goes down to -15 °C. We size the combination on survey.
There are four types of indoor unit. A single split uses one of them, and a multi split lets you mix them across rooms.
The classic high-on-the-wall split, and our most popular choice for bedrooms, lounges and home offices. Slim, quick to fit and quiet. Samsung offers it in three steps, so you can pick the level of comfort, filtration and design that suits you.
Start with the Cebu S2, step up to WindFree™ for draught-free cooling, or choose the Première Avant range for the best design and air filtration.
The straightforward Samsung wall unit. Compact, quiet and efficient, with smart control built in. A sensible choice for bedrooms, offices and anywhere you want reliable comfort at the best price.
Draught-free cooling. Instead of blowing a stream of cold air, WindFree™ releases it through thousands of micro-holes so the room cools gently. Comfort S2 is the entry model, and Elite S2 adds the Motion Detect Sensor and Tri-Care filter.
The top of the range, designed to be seen. A slim, flat-fronted unit that suits modern interiors, available in white or the black Avant finish. You get WindFree™ cooling with Tri-Care air filtration.
In WindFree™ mode the air leaves through up to 23,000 micro-holes, creating a low-speed “still air” room. You feel comfortably cool without a direct draught or a noisy fan.
Fast Cooling mode, with a larger fan and wider inlet and blade, brings the room down to temperature quickly. The unit then switches to WindFree™ to hold it there.
AI Auto Comfort chooses the best mode, and the Elite S2 Motion Detect Sensor cuts capacity if nobody is in the room. It can also avoid blowing at you, or follow you around the room.
The Tri-Care filter has three layers, including a Zeolite-coated filter for fine dust and allergens. Freeze Wash frosts and defrosts the coil to clean it, and the filter pulls out from the top.
Recessed into the ceiling with only a slim panel on show, a cassette leaves your walls and floor completely free. It suits open-plan rooms, restaurants, shops and offices. Choose a 1-way cassette for narrow spaces, or the compact 600 × 600 mm 4-way that fits a standard ceiling-tile grid. Larger 360° round cassettes cover bigger rooms.
A slim floor-standing unit that sits low against the wall, usually under a window. It is a good fit where there is no free wall space high up, such as conservatories, rooms with sloping ceilings and extensions. It blows cool air from the upper outlet and warm air from the lower one, so heating reaches floor level instead of collecting near the ceiling.
The whole unit is hidden in the ceiling void, a loft or a cupboard, and only discreet grilles show in the room. One unit can serve several rooms through ductwork, which makes it ideal for open-plan living and for homes where you want no visible equipment. The LSP Slim Duct is only 200 mm tall for shallow voids, and the larger MSP Duct covers bigger homes.
Capacities and sound levels are taken from Samsung's catalogue and vary by model. Prices are indicative; we'll confirm the exact unit, capacity and price for your rooms on survey.

A commercial space carries more people, equipment and glazing than a home, and its hours are longer. The system has to be sized to that heat load, and each area controlled on its own. One outdoor unit can serve several indoor units, so each room or zone can be set independently without a separate system for every space.
We calculate the load from occupancy, equipment, windows and insulation, then size and zone the system to match.
Separate indoor units let a dining room, kitchen or office run at its own temperature, so you only cool the areas in use.
Refrigerant charge limits and plant location follow EN378, and the R32 refrigerant used in our systems has a lower global warming potential than R410A. We check the design against F-gas rules before installation.
Each location has its own needs for comfort, noise and installation. These are the systems we'd usually recommend, and we confirm the final choice on survey.
Dining rooms need steady, quiet cooling while guests are talking, and bars need cooling that doesn't blow onto customers. Wall-Mounted units suit bars and smaller dining rooms, and the 360 Cassette gives an even, circular airflow across larger rooms without visible blades.
Shop floors need comfortable air without cold draughts on customers. WindFree™ cooling spreads air through thousands of micro-holes for still, gradual cooling, and the 360 Cassette suits open-plan stores with a clean ceiling.
Gyms and sports halls carry heavy, changing loads from people and exercise, and changing areas need to stay fresh and comfortable between sessions. Ducted and ceiling cassette systems keep the equipment out of sight and cover large floors evenly.
Offices need an even temperature across desks and meeting rooms, without draughts or noise that gets in the way of calls. The WindFree 4-Way 600 × 600 Cassette fits a standard ceiling grid, and a Wall-Mounted unit suits a single room or a private office.
Equipment rooms need cooling that holds steady around the clock and keeps floor space clear. Samsung can serve server rooms from 2.5 kW to 25 kW per single unit, so the same approach covers a small comms room or a multi-rack deployment. Every room is designed individually around its heat load.
Heat-load calculations and zoning planned around how your space is actually used.
Out-of-hours and phased fitting so your business keeps running throughout.
Planned maintenance contracts to keep systems efficient and compliant.
Samsung's commercial range pairs comfort with control. The indoor units are designed to fit the space, and the system connects to building management software so you can see how it's running.
Samsung's b.IoT software brings the system into your building management. Active AI monitors refrigerant and pressure in real time and flags problems early.
Cassette units come with a factory-fitted Wi-Fi kit, so you can manage them through the SmartThings app from one place.
WindFree™ technology disperses air through thousands of micro-holes for still, even cooling. The 360 Cassette sends air in every direction without blades, so it reaches the whole room.
Capacities and sound levels are taken from Samsung's commercial catalogue. Final specification is confirmed on survey.
Bring us in early and we'll spec the system alongside your build.
The same WindFree™ comfort and smart controls, in the format that suits your space — high on the wall, or recessed into the ceiling.
Samsung's premium units go beyond cooling. Multi-stage filtration captures dust and fine particles as air circulates, while an easy-clean design keeps the system hygienic and efficient with minimal fuss.
Every Samsung unit we fit connects to the free SmartThings app. Turn rooms on before you get home, set schedules, track energy use and control everything by voice.

Add each room and its details, choose single or multi-split, and we'll size the units and build a fitted price on the spot. It's a guide — we confirm everything on a free survey.
This sets the exposure factor and flags the planning rules on outdoor units.
Add every room you'd like cooled. We size each one from its dimensions, aspect, glazing, insulation and heat-generating kit.
Single splits are most economical for 1–2 units. Multi-split shares one outdoor unit and works out cheaper (and tidier) from 3 indoor units up.
We can oversize the indoor units to 170% of the outdoor capacity, so a smaller condenser often does the job. Pick one that covers your heads and has enough ports.
Loads use a sensible-cooling estimate for UK conditions from each room's volume, insulation, aspect, glazing and equipment, converted to BTU and matched to the nearest unit size. Prices include a standard fitted install (single split: up to 3 m of pipework, then £40/m; +£100 per first-floor-or-above room; +£150 per wall unit if a condensate pump is needed) and exclude the electrician's cost for a dedicated circuit. Final sizing and price confirmed on a free survey.
