How we price air conditioning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What electrical work the job needs
- The condition of any existing system
- What kind of system it is
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Lower Cox Street easier.
- 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.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make servicing a warranty condition. We can remind you when it’s due, so it does not get forgotten.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
What an install looks like in Lower Cox Street
VOA council tax data date about 65% of homes in the Lower Cox Street area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 49% of households in terraced houses. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Terraces have little side access, so the outdoor unit normally goes on the rear wall or a flat roof, with the pipe run kept short.
Stoneacre, about 4.6 miles south, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. Living close to Church of St Peter? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork plus an access hatch for maintenance. The survey confirms whether there’s room.
Pipework and condensate drains
The indoor and outdoor units are joined by insulated refrigerant pipes, a cable and a condensate drain. The route is agreed before any drilling and kept as tidy as the building allows.

What else we do in Lower Cox Street
Lower Cox Street: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Lower Cox Street?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Lower Cox Street. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Lower Cox Street, typically Maidstone council).
Will you come out to Lower Cox Street?
Yes. Lower Cox Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
In many cases, but permissions come first. You’ll usually need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route, so check the lease. 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.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Lower Cox Street and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
In most cases, yes: modern splits are normally heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
