Air conditioning installation in Westwood
Across Westwood, every installation follows the same steps: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. You know the price before any work starts and the paperwork is in your hands when we finish. People searching for “air con near me” in Westwood want two things: a sensible price and someone qualified. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Westwood. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How it works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Westwood.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Common problems we fix in Westwood
Not everyone is after cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, which means more heat out than electricity in. Most modern split systems work this way.
What we’re most often called about:
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
- An old system that needs replacing
- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
What to look for in a quote
- If the figure could change on the day
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
Homes in Westwood and air conditioning
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 48% of homes across Westwood and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 86% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 8 within half a mile of the centre, such as Ivy House (grade II). That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling is not covered at all, so we check with the local planning authority (usually Dartford council) where necessary.
With historic houses such as Cobham College about 4.6 miles east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Your questions about air conditioning in Westwood
Is Westwood in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. Westwood is one of the places we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few pictures.
Do you cover smaller places like Westwood?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
In many cases, but permissions come first. You’ll usually need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route, so check the lease. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
What happens if it’s left?
Fans and portables move warm air around rather than removing it. A fixed system removes the heat to the outside, runs more quietly in the room and can normally heat as well, so it earns its keep all year. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Westwood.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
