Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and you’ll hear back from us the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. A lot of the calls we get from Homerton are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
London homes in Homerton can be short of outside space, which means a rear wall bracket, a flat roof or a balcony is often the best spot for the outdoor unit. Neighbours’ windows and noise matter as much as appearance when we choose the position, and the pipe run is planned to be short, neat and out of the way.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

How the visit works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Homerton.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in Homerton
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The pipe route between the units
- The brand, model and parts involved
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Never run the system with the filters out
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
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 space clear around the outdoor unit.
Set it and leave it. Choose the right mode and a comfortable temperature rather than the lowest setting, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.
Your questions about air conditioning in Homerton
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Homerton?
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 planning permission needed for air conditioning in Homerton?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Homerton holds about 71 listed buildings and structures. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Hackney council, usually the authority for Homerton when it matters.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book, and we’re happy to show ours.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Typically, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
There’s no single best type. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
What an install looks like in Homerton
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 37% of homes in the Homerton area before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 78% 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.
Living close to United Reformed Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. If you commute from Homerton station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that’s needed.

Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: 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.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
