Air conditioning installation in Westbourne Green
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Just phone us on 07833 053749 with photos of the rooms and the outside of the property, and you will hear back from us the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Westbourne Green it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
In a London area like Westbourne Green, many of the homes we are asked about are flats, maisonettes and terraced houses. So the first questions are where the outdoor unit can sit, how the pipes get to it and whose permission is needed. A freeholder or managing agent often has a say in a flat, and we can give you the details they’ll ask for.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

What the work involves, system by system
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
For bigger buildings, VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor plant. VRF and larger commercial jobs are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette sits flush in a suspended ceiling and spreads air in several directions, which suits offices, shops and open-plan spaces.
What we’re called out for in Westbourne Green
Some people come to us for heating rather than cooling. Old direct electric heaters turn electricity straight into heat, while a heat pump moves heat in from the outside air, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. Most modern split systems work this way.
Look out for these signs:
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
Kensington Palace (roughly 1 mile south) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

Westbourne Green questions
Do you cover Westbourne Green for air conditioning?
Yes, Westbourne Green is within the area we cover. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Westbourne Green?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Bayswater Conservation Area is close to the centre of Westbourne Green. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Westminster council, typically the authority for Westbourne Green.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and a position facing a road can bring extra planning considerations. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most of the time, 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 we are NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Let us know who controls access to the building in Westbourne Green, as that saves time on the day.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Air conditioning in Westbourne Green: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 67% of homes in and around Westbourne Green before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 91% of households live in flats. Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can. For a flat, we look at balconies, flat roofs and rear walls for the outdoor unit, and the lease often needs checking first. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
Older streets near St Mary Magdalene may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
