Air conditioning in New Charlton
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. A lot of the calls we get from New Charlton are about one room that is too hot to sleep or work in. That’s normally a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
Across London, and in New Charlton too, a lot of air conditioning goes into flats and terraces rather than detached houses. So the first questions are where the outdoor unit can sit, how the pipes get to it and whose permission is needed. In a flat, the lease and the freeholder normally come into it, so we write up the proposed positions for them to see.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

New Charlton questions
Is New Charlton in your area for air conditioning?
Yes, New Charlton is within the area we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in New Charlton?
Typically, 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.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How do I know what size unit to get?
Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy, so we explain why we’ve chosen a particular output.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
It depends on the rooms, the system and the pipe route, but a single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, and commercial systems are priced after a survey.
What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
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. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
What air conditioning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Bedrooms, offices and living spaces are where wall-mounted units are most often fitted. We choose the position for even airflow and easy filter access rather than blowing straight at the bed or desk.
Pipework and condensate drains
After the pipework is fitted, the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated, so the system starts life clean, dry and leak-tight. It’s recorded in the commissioning details.

Homes in New Charlton and air conditioning
Census 2021 figures found about 53% of households live in flats. In flats, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where an outdoor unit can go, and the permitted development rules for flats are tighter. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
If your home is in one of the older streets near St Catherine Labouré, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. If you commute from Charlton station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that’s needed.
