Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Kennington
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Kennington it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
Outdoor units around Kennington often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s out of sight from the road and easy to service.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kennington
The outdoor unit’s position is worth getting right first time. A good position keeps noise down and leaves room for servicing, and it can make a difference to planning. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Air conditioning around Kennington
About 40% of homes in and around Kennington date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 64% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Older streets near Church of St Mary may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in Kennington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your installation or service records
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
When to call us in Kennington
Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, which is why a loft bedroom can still be warm at bedtime.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An office, shop or restaurant that is uncomfortable for staff and customers
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
Godinton House (roughly 2.3 miles west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
What your quote should include
- What records you get at the end
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Around Kennington, access is normally simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
How to get a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Your questions about air conditioning in Kennington
Is Kennington within the area you cover?
Yes. Kennington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning in Kennington without planning permission?
It depends on the property. A conservation area takes in the middle of Kennington. 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 Ashford council, typically the authority for Kennington.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
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, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
