Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Belgravia
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, while a two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation are all included, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. A lot of the calls we get from Belgravia are about one room that is too hot to sleep or work in. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
Planning permission is not typically needed for a house if the unit qualifies as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we tell you at the survey if it applies.
Space outside is often tight in Belgravia, as in much of London, so the outdoor unit may end up on a rear wall, a flat roof or a balcony. Neighbours’ windows and noise matter as much as appearance when we choose the position, and we plan the pipe route so it’s as short and tidy as the building allows.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Some blocks in Belgravia need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.

Common questions in Belgravia
Is Belgravia in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. Belgravia is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Belgravia?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Belgravia is in the Belgravia Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Westminster council, which is usually the planning authority for Belgravia.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
The filters are the one part you will look after yourself, so we show you how. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, or as the manual recommends, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.
Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, which costs you more to run.
How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit positions
Noise is part of the decision: keeping it clear of bedrooms and boundaries where we can and fitted so vibration doesn’t carry into the building. Position can also affect planning.
Electrical supply
We check the consumer unit on the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. Older boards sometimes need more work to take a new circuit and we’ll tell you if yours does.
What an install looks like in Belgravia
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 60% of homes across Belgravia and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households live in flats. Older properties often mean solid walls and period details, so pipe runs are planned to stay neat and out of sight. For a flat, we look at balconies, flat roofs and rear walls for the outdoor unit, and the lease often needs checking first. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
Plenty of people near London Victoria station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. About 0.4 miles north stands Apsley House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
