Air conditioning for homes and businesses in South Kenton
Air conditioning is not only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. A lot of the calls we get from South Kenton are about one room that is too hot to sleep or work in. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
Many installs in South Kenton can go ahead as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we flag that at the survey.
In South Kenton, as across London, the rooms that get hottest are typically under the roof or behind large sunny windows. Many people start with one wall-mounted unit in the room that suffers most, and a multi-split can cover more rooms from one outdoor unit where space outside is short.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Air conditioning in South Kenton: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 67% of homes in South Kenton and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1919 to 1939, and Census 2021 figures found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
About 2.6 miles north-west stands Headstone Manor. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of the Annunciation, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
South Kenton is about 1 mile north-west of Wembley, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the HA9 postcode area, our engineers can take on air conditioning.

Why act early in South Kenton
For homeowners, timing can matter for VAT: installing energy-saving materials in residential accommodation is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Allow time for any approvals your building in South Kenton needs.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Your questions about air conditioning in South Kenton
Can you do air conditioning in South Kenton?
We do: South Kenton falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning in South Kenton without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of South Kenton is in a conservation area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Brent council, usually the authority for South Kenton.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
From £1,200 + VAT for a single-room split, with a typical range of £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. That covers supply, installation, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork, and we fix it after a survey or from your photos.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours, and the position can affect planning.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Let us know who controls access to the building in South Kenton, as that saves time on the day.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
