About our air conditioning in Connaught Village
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. Air conditioning installation in Connaught Village starts with a site survey, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
The outdoor unit position is the biggest single decision: we balance airflow, noise, the pipe run and access for future servicing.
London homes in Connaught Village can be short of outside space, 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. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Homes in Connaught Village and air conditioning
About 44% of homes across Connaught Village and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 92% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can. In flats, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where an outdoor unit can go, and the permitted development rules for flats are tighter. London installs often hinge on outside space, the lease and access to the building.
With historic houses such as Handel Hendrix House about 0.9 miles east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Older streets near Church of St John the Evangelist may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
Connaught Village is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. From the centre of Connaught Village to the outskirts, we cover air conditioning, from a single room to a whole building. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, large and small.
The closest recent job we can point to from Connaught Village was on East Hill, Wandsworth (SW18), about 4 miles south: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the open-plan living area. More about it
Our engineers cover all of W1U, W1H and W2 for air conditioning and the roads nearby.

We also work in nearby towns such as London (3 miles east), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east) and Hoxton (4 miles east).

What we do, step by step
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. For a job in Connaught Village, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Related advice
Why act early in Connaught Village
Fans and portables move warm air around rather than removing it. A fixed system removes the heat to the outside, runs more quietly in the room and can typically heat as well, so it works for you in winter as well. Getting the work done in Connaught Village before summer avoids the busiest weeks.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.

How the job changes from property to property
Ducted systems
One ducted unit can serve more than one room through separate ducts and grilles, and they’re easiest to fit while ceilings are open, such as during a refurbishment.
Electrical supply
Most systems need their own circuit from the consumer unit. As NICEIC approved contractors, we install it and issue the certificate and that covers the Part P side.
Connaught Village questions
Can you do air conditioning in Connaught Village?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Connaught Village is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Connaught Village?
It depends on the property. The centre of Connaught Village is in the Bayswater Conservation Area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Connaught Village, typically Westminster council).
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
