Air conditioning in Purley
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. Every installation in Purley begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
Top-floor flats and rooms with big south- or west-facing windows tend to be the first to overheat in London. 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.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Air conditioning in Purley: the local picture
About 31% of homes in the Purley area were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split. London installs often hinge on outside space, the lease and access to the building.
Homes near St Swithun's are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. Plenty of people near Purley station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.

What else we do in Purley
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Purley.
- 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.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Your questions about air conditioning in Purley
Is air conditioning in Purley permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Purley holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Croydon council, typically the authority for Purley.
Do you cover Purley for air conditioning?
We do: Purley falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Which type of system should I choose?
There’s no single best type. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
In most cases, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
It takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
Will you need to do electrical work?
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.
Why act early in Purley
A system that is the wrong size never works well. An undersized unit runs hard and still cannot keep the room cool; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Sizing each room properly on the survey avoids both. Booking in spring means a home or office in Purley is ready before the first hot week.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Rented and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Greater London. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
How we price air conditioning
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
To get a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
