Greater London · Air conditioning installation
Air conditioning installation in Upton, Greater London
Our engineers work in Upton on air conditioning installation. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- Too many options and no clear advice
System by system
Pipework and condensate drains
After the pipework is fitted, the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated, which keeps moisture and air out of the circuit. The results go into the commissioning records.
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so any extra electrical work is on the quote rather than a surprise on the day. Older boards sometimes need more work to take a new circuit and we’ll tell you if yours does.
Air conditioning installation in Upton
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see and we talk you through it on the survey. If you want air conditioning in Upton, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off.
In Upton, as across London, the rooms that get hottest are usually 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.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Your questions about air conditioning in Upton
Is Upton in your area for air conditioning?
Yes, Upton is within the area we cover. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Upton?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
It depends on the rooms and the building. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
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.

What we’re called out for in Upton
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.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- Too many options and no clear advice
About 0.3 miles south-west stands Red House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. For a job in Upton, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- 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
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
What an install looks like in Upton
About 40% of homes in and around Upton were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age normally 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. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
If you commute from Bexleyheath station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that’s needed.
