Air con installers in Golders Green
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. Every installation in Golders Green begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
A typical install in Golders Green is an indoor unit high on an outside wall, a neat pipe run and an outdoor unit on a bracket or ground pad, with the drain run planned so it never drips where it shouldn’t.
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, and a multi-split can cover more rooms from one outdoor unit where space outside is short.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Air conditioning in Golders Green: local notes
About 52% of homes in Golders Green and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 50% of households live in flats. 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. For a flat, we look at balconies, flat roofs and rear walls for the outdoor unit, and the lease often needs checking first. London installs often hinge on outside space, the lease and access to the building.
Older streets near Church of St Alban the Martyr may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. With historic houses such as Heath House about 1.1 miles south-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

FAQs for Golders Green
Can you do air conditioning in Golders Green?
We do: Golders Green falls inside our working area. Just phone us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Will air conditioning in Golders Green need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Golders Green is a short walk from the Golders Green Town Centre Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Barnet council, usually the authority for Golders Green.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Normally, yes. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
Typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT for a single-room split, depending on the room, the access and the pipe route. Where you sit in the range depends on pipe length, access, electrics and the model, and commercial systems are priced after a survey.
For landlords and property managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

What else we do in Golders Green
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Air-to-air heat pumps
Aftercare tips
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, or as the manual recommends, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.
Use sensible settings. Choose the right mode and a comfortable temperature rather than the lowest setting and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Send us a few phone photos and we can often price a straightforward job in Golders Green before visiting.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
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.”
