Which air conditioning system is right for you?

We tailor the solution to your property, budget and comfort requirements. A technical survey is carried out before every quote.

Single room (15 to 45 m²)

Benefits

  • Quick installation, often completed in one day.
  • Reversible: cools in summer, heats in winter.
  • Discreet, compact wall-mounted unit.

Frequently asked questions about air conditioning

What is the difference between standard and reversible air conditioning?

Standard air conditioning only cools, whereas reversible air conditioning can also heat by reversing its refrigeration cycle. This is known as an air-to-air heat pump. Efficiency (COP) is excellent: 3 to 4 kWh of heat delivered per 1 kWh consumed. It is the most cost-effective 2-in-1 solution for cooling and heating.

How much does reversible air conditioning cost in Lille?

For a standard single-split, expect between €1,800 and €3,500 incl. VAT installed. For a 3-indoor-unit multi-split, between €5,500 and €9,000 incl. VAT. A whole-house ducted installation starts around €9,500 incl. VAT. All our quotes are free, detailed and include a sizing study.

Is reversible air conditioning eligible for grants?

MaPrimeRénov' and the CEE heating boost generally do not cover air-to-air heat pumps (reversible AC). However, since 18 July 2026, certain high-performance air-to-air units can qualify for the reduced 5.5% VAT rate under conditions (home over 2 years old, energy classes, refrigerant, connectivity). We detail the measure in our dedicated article and apply the correct rate on quotes after the study.

How can reversible air conditioning improve my EPC rating?

Installing an air-to-air heat pump (reversible air conditioning) can, based on our field experience, improve your property's energy rating — by up to three bands in the most favourable cases, for example after very inefficient direct electric heating. Results vary with building condition, insulation and unit sizing. Even without government grants, it remains a worthwhile way to add value to your home. We cover this during your free pre-quote study.

Which brands do you install?

Hecker & Frères Énergie (HFE) is an official Panasonic partner. We also install Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Airwell, Atlantic, LG and Toshiba. All these brands offer a 3 to 5-year manufacturer warranty, extendable up to 10 years depending on the model.

Do you install air conditioning in La Madeleine and the Lille metropolitan area?

Yes. We install reversible air conditioning in Lille, La Madeleine, Marcq-en-Barœul, Lambersart, Villeneuve-d'Ascq, Roubaix, Tourcoing, Wasquehal and across our full 50 km service area. Sizing study and quotes are free.

What is the Panasonic Comfort Cloud app?

Comfort Cloud is Panasonic's free app (iOS and Android) for remote control of compatible reversible air conditioners: temperature, modes, weekly scheduling, consumption monitoring and, on selected models, nanoe™ X activation. Connection uses built-in Wi-Fi or the CZ-TACG1 adapter. HFE sets up the app during commissioning.
