Air conditioning installation in Hurlingham
We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, with VRF for larger buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be, and we explain the options on the survey. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
London homes in Hurlingham can be short of outside space, 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.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Before you call an engineer
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Questions from Hurlingham
Do you cover Hurlingham for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Hurlingham is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hurlingham?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Hurlingham sits inside a conservation area. 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 local planning authority (for Hurlingham, normally Hammersmith and Fulham council) when it matters.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
It takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most of the time. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Normally, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls and the lease will say. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
What affects the cost of air conditioning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many units are involved
- What kind of system it is
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
For air conditioning in Hurlingham, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some photos if they’re to hand. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
- Report drips, noises or error codes straight away
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. Once it’s running properly, we take you through the controls and settings, so you are confident using it.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans what you can’t reach and picks up faults before they stop the system, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.

Air conditioning in Hurlingham: local notes
VOA council tax data put about 55% of homes in and around Hurlingham before 1919, and about 72% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. 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. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
Plenty of people near Imperial Wharf station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. If your home is in one of the older streets near St Dionis, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Hurlingham.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
