- A loft conversion that’s too warm to use
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- Expensive direct electric heating
How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. A few photos of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Hanwell.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

About our air conditioning in Hanwell
Any installation we do in Hanwell follows the same process as everywhere else we work: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. You know the price before work begins and the paperwork is in your hands when we finish. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
In a London area like Hanwell, many of the homes we are asked about are flats, maisonettes and terraced houses. That shapes the job: where the outdoor unit can go, how the pipework reaches it and who needs to agree first. In a flat, the lease and the freeholder normally come into it, and we can give you the details they’ll ask for.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How the job changes from property to property
Multi-split systems
Indoor units on a multi-split don’t all have to look the same, choosing what suits each room, depending on the model. The survey settles which units go where.
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and small commercial rooms. We choose the position for even airflow and easy filter access, and away from where the air would blow straight onto people.
After we have gone
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make regular servicing a condition of their warranty. We’ll remind you when it’s due, so it doesn’t get forgotten.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.
What air conditioning won’t do
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think.

Hanwell questions
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Hanwell?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Hanwell sits inside the Hanwell Clock Tower Conservation Area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Ealing council, typically the authority for Hanwell.
Do you cover Hanwell for air conditioning?
Yes. Hanwell is one of the places we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most of the time. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Air conditioning in Hanwell: the local picture
About 53% of homes in and around Hanwell were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 52% 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. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Mellitus, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. If you commute from Hanwell station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed.
