What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit positions
Outdoor units are fitted on wall brackets, at ground level or on a flat roof, depending on the property and the pipe route. It needs airflow around it and room for servicing.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Bigger systems in buildings come with extra duties, such as a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange the inspection and get the system ready for it.
Air con installers in Peaks Hill
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Every installation in Peaks Hill begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Across London, and in Peaks Hill too, a lot of air conditioning goes into flats and terraces rather than detached houses. That shapes the job: where the outdoor unit can go, how the pipework reaches it and who needs to agree first. A freeholder or managing agent often has a say in a flat, and we can give you the details they’ll ask for.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Homes in Peaks Hill and air conditioning
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 44% of homes across Peaks Hill and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
If you work from home near Purley station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. Addington Palace (roughly 4 miles east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Before a visit in Peaks Hill, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Common questions in Peaks Hill
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Peaks Hill?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. 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.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Peaks Hill?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Peaks Hill is a short walk from the Webb Estate Conservation Area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Croydon council, which is typically the planning authority for Peaks Hill.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Usually, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
In most cases. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
How do you size the system?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
