Air conditioning in Farringdon, done properly
Air conditioning is not only for summer: most modern splits heat too. 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. Air conditioning installation in Farringdon starts with a site survey, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
London homes in Farringdon 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.

Air conditioning in Farringdon: the local picture
About 32% of homes across Farringdon and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 97% of households live in flats. Newer homes usually have cavity walls and loft space that make pipe runs easier, though some estates have planning conditions or covenants worth checking. In flats, the lease and the freeholder typically 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.
Homes near St John Clerkenwell are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. Dr Johnson's House (roughly 0.4 miles south-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Book an annual service
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
We recommend an annual service, and some manufacturers make servicing a warranty condition. We’ll remind you when it’s due if you’d like.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
How the visit works
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. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Farringdon.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Advice
Common questions in Farringdon
Can you do air conditioning in Farringdon?
Yes. Farringdon is one of the places we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Farringdon?
Normally, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Leave it or put it right?
Where the outdoor unit goes matters to you and to the neighbours. Placing it well keeps noise away from bedrooms and boundaries and makes servicing easier, and it can affect whether planning permission is needed. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day. In a London building, getting the freeholder’s or agent’s agreement can take a while, so it’s worth starting early.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote
