Air conditioning installation in West Ealing
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Most enquiries from West Ealing start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. That’s normally a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
Across London, and in West Ealing too, a lot of air conditioning goes into flats and terraces rather than detached houses. That shapes the job: where the outdoor unit can go, how the pipework reaches it and who needs to agree first. In a flat, the lease and the freeholder typically come into it, so we write up the proposed positions for them to see.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell 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.

FAQs for West Ealing
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in West Ealing?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in West Ealing?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Hanwell Clock Tower Conservation Area is close to the centre of West Ealing. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for West Ealing, usually Ealing council).
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in West Ealing and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you cover West Ealing?
Yes. Our engineers work in West Ealing, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
How it works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Send us a few phone pictures and we can often price a straightforward job in West Ealing before visiting.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Do not cover or box in the outdoor unit
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make regular servicing a condition of their warranty. We will remind you when it’s due if you’d like.
Set it and leave it. Choose the right mode and a comfortable temperature rather than the lowest setting, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.
What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

Air conditioning around West Ealing
VOA council tax data put about 53% of homes in the West Ealing area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 52% of households live in flats. Older properties often mean solid walls and period details, so pipe runs are planned to stay neat and out of sight. For a flat, we look at balconies, flat roofs and rear walls for the outdoor unit, and the lease often needs checking first. London installs often hinge on outside space, the lease and access to the building.
With historic houses such as Pitzhanger Manor about 1.4 miles east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. If you work from home near Hanwell station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.
