Space outside is often tight in Old Chiswick, as in much of London, which means a rear wall bracket, a flat roof or a balcony is often the best spot for the outdoor unit. 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: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
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.
Homes in Old Chiswick and air conditioning
About 55% of homes in and around Old Chiswick were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 51% 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. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.

What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Some blocks in Old Chiswick need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Common questions in Old Chiswick
Can you do air conditioning in Old Chiswick?
Yes. Old Chiswick is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Old Chiswick?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How we price air conditioning
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The address and the type of property
- Your installation or service records
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Keeping the system healthy
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer so you know how to get the best from it.
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.
From one of our customers
“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.”
