What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Thames Ditton when you book.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Your questions about air conditioning in Thames Ditton
Can I fit air conditioning in Thames Ditton without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Thames Ditton Conservation Area takes in the middle of Thames Ditton. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Elmbridge council, which is usually the planning authority for Thames Ditton.
Do you cover smaller places like Thames Ditton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation and is fixed after a survey or from pictures.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, 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.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Have the system serviced once a year
If anything is not right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk it through with you.
Report drips, noises or error codes early. Water from the indoor unit, a new rattle or a code on the display typically means something needs attention, and early repairs are typically simpler.

For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
