Air conditioning in Crook Log
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. Every installation in Crook Log begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
Space outside is often tight in Crook Log, 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 we plan the pipe route so it’s as short and tidy as the building allows.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Air conditioning in Crook Log: the local picture
About 49% of homes across Crook Log and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 65% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. 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.
About 0.3 miles south-east stands Red House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Close to Bexleyheath station? A small study or box room used for work can usually be cooled with a single indoor unit.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Before a visit in Crook Log, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Your questions about air conditioning in Crook Log
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Crook Log?
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.
Do you cover Crook Log for air conditioning?
Yes. Crook Log is one of the places we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
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 the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in Crook Log
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Rented and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Greater London. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.
From one of our customers
“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.”
