How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. For a job in Seething Wells, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Air con installers in Seething Wells
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, while a two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Those ranges include supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, with commercial and VRF systems priced after a survey. Most split systems we fit in Seething Wells are reversible: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, which is why many owners use theirs all year.
A single room takes a day in most homes, with multi-room systems taking longer depending on pipe routes.
Across London, and in Seething Wells 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, and we can give you the details they’ll ask for.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Common problems we fix in Seething Wells
Loft rooms and top floors tend to suffer most. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
Hampton Court Palace (roughly 1.3 miles north-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
What your quote should include
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
Air conditioning in Seething Wells: local notes
About 65% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. 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.
If you work from home near Surbiton station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Have the system serviced once a year
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. 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.
Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
What the work involves, system by system
Electrical supply
A dedicated circuit is normally needed. As NICEIC approved contractors, we install it and issue the certificate, which takes care of the Part P notification.
Pipework and condensate drains
The indoor and outdoor units are joined by insulated refrigerant pipes, a cable and a condensate drain. We agree the route with you before we drill and kept as tidy as the building allows.
FAQs for Seething Wells
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Seething Wells?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically 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.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Seething Wells?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Riverside South Conservation Area is close to the centre of Seething Wells. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Seething Wells, typically Kingston-Upon-Thames council).
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Allow anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
