Anerley air conditioning
We cover Anerley for supply, installation and commissioning of air conditioning for homes and businesses, from one room to a whole building. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Anerley in advance.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Anerley
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, two rooms on a multi-split £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT.

Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
Space outside is often tight in Anerley, as in much of London, which means a rear wall bracket, a flat roof or a balcony is often the best spot for the outdoor unit. We look at noise towards neighbours and windows as well as looks, and the pipe run is planned to be short, neat and out of the way.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Your questions about air conditioning in Anerley
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Anerley?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Is Anerley in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Anerley is part of that. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few photos.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Never run the system with the filters out
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make regular servicing a condition of their warranty. We will remind you when it’s due, so it does not get forgotten.
Book an annual service. A service cleans what you can’t reach and picks up faults before they stop the system and keeps the warranty paperwork right where servicing is a condition.
Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Other services in Anerley
Air conditioning in Anerley: local notes
About 47% of homes in and around Anerley were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 66% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Older properties often mean solid walls and period details, so pipe runs are planned to stay neat and out of sight. In flats, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where an outdoor unit can go, and the permitted development rules for flats are tighter. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
With historic houses such as Kingswood House about 1.3 miles north-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Close to Anerley station? A small study or box room used for work can normally be cooled with a single indoor unit.

Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
