Why customers in Reading choose OCSCompany

Air-con installs are a common source of grief: undersized units, condensate left to drip down the wall, no F-Gas paperwork. We size the system to the room, route the condensate properly and hand over the certificate on the day. A fair number of Reading customers ring us to fix what somebody else has just installed.

How a typical job runs

Send us a couple of photos on WhatsApp, drop us an email, or talk it through on the phone. A fixed-price written quote comes back inside 24 hours. There is no obligation and no aggressive follow-up. If you are happy to go ahead, we book a slot that works for you (Saturday mornings included) and confirm the day before. On the day you get a 30-minute "we are heading over" message. The tradesperson arrives in branded clothing with photo ID, finishes the job, and you only pay once you are happy with the finish.
