Air conditioning installation in Kew
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Send a few pictures of the rooms and the outside walls when you ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email, and we will reply the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
Most single-room installs in Kew are done in a day, with multi-room systems taking longer depending on pipe routes, and we leave the room clean and the controls explained.
In Kew, as across London, the rooms that get hottest are usually under the roof or behind large sunny windows. Many people start with one wall-mounted unit in the room that suffers most, while a multi-split serves several rooms from one outdoor unit, which helps where outside space is limited.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Your questions about air conditioning in Kew
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Kew?
Usually, 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.
Can you do air conditioning in Kew?
Yes, Kew is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
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.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust points out that an air-to-air heat pump is often just called air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
- Central heating repairs
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- VRF systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Kew.
- 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.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Air conditioning in Kew: local notes
About 48% of homes across Kew and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 53% 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. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
Around St Paul's Church, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install. If you commute from Chiswick station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed.

Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- File the paperwork with the manual
- Report drips, noises or error codes right away
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
If anything is not right after we’ve gone, call us on the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display, and we’ll talk it through with you.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
Let and managed properties
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
