Air conditioning installation in Biggin Hill
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, which is why many owners use theirs all year.
Top-floor flats and rooms with big south- or west-facing windows tend to be the first to overheat in London. A single wall-mounted unit in the worst room is often where people start, while a multi-split serves several rooms from one outdoor unit, which helps where outside space is limited.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

What an install looks like in Biggin Hill
About 42% of homes in and around Biggin Hill date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 67% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
Older streets near St Mark's Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. In a London area like Biggin Hill, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

When to call us in Biggin Hill
Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A home office with a couple of screens, or a meeting room with a few people in it, warms up quickly, even on a mild day.
These are the situations we see most often:
- A loft conversion that’s too warm to use
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
Down House, about 1.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

Your questions about air conditioning in Biggin Hill
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Biggin Hill?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Do you cover Biggin Hill for air conditioning?
Yes, Biggin Hill is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Different systems, different jobs
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs a void above the ceiling for the unit, pipework and drain, and many use a built-in condensate pump to lift the water away. We check the ceiling void on the survey.
Ducted systems
With a ducted system, the indoor unit sits out of sight above the ceiling, and all you see is a discreet grille. It’s popular where people do not want a unit on the wall.

What affects the cost of air conditioning
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
