Air conditioning in Chadwell Heath, done properly
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: in heating mode they work as an air-to-air heat pump, which is why many owners use theirs all year.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Space outside is often tight in Chadwell Heath, as in much of London, so the outdoor unit may end up on a rear wall, a flat roof or a balcony. 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.
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.

Chadwell Heath: your questions answered
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Chadwell Heath?
Typically, 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 planning permission needed for air conditioning in Chadwell Heath?
It depends on the property. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Chadwell Heath. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Chadwell Heath, usually Barking and Dagenham council).
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision and position can affect planning.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
From £1,200 + VAT for a single-room split, with a typical range of £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation and is fixed after a survey or from pictures.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.

Yes. We work in Chadwell Heath and across Greater London, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Chadwell Heath.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Air conditioning in Chadwell Heath: local notes
VOA council tax data date about 40% of homes across Chadwell Heath and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
With historic houses such as Hare Hall about 2.9 miles east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Common problems we fix in Chadwell Heath
Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. Heat comes in through the roof and rises from the rest of the building, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
- Fans and portables that don’t keep up
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose

Why deal with it now?
New systems now use lower-impact refrigerants. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg can’t use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088. Consents in London blocks can take time, which is another reason to plan the job in Chadwell Heath early.
