Air con installers in Widmore
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, two rooms on a multi-split £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Those ranges include supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. Most split systems we fit in Widmore are reversible: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, which is why many owners use theirs all year.
Space outside is often tight in Widmore, as in much of London, so the outdoor unit may end up on a rear wall, a flat roof or a balcony. We look at noise towards neighbours and windows as well as looks, and the pipe run is planned to be short, neat and out of the way.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What happens if it’s left?
If you’re thinking about air conditioning for a property in Widmore, there’s no need to wait for a heatwave. The installation takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access, and the date is agreed with you after you’ve accepted the fixed price. In a London building, getting the freeholder’s or agent’s agreement can take a while, so it’s worth starting early.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Common problems we fix in Widmore
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. That is how most modern split systems work.
Customers usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
Living close to Church of St George? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
What your quote should include
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit positions
Outdoor units are fitted on wall brackets, at ground level or on a flat roof, whatever suits the building and the route. It needs airflow around it and room for servicing.
Electrical supply
A dedicated circuit is normally needed. As NICEIC approved contractors, we install it and issue the certificate and that covers the Part P side.
FAQs for Widmore
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Widmore?
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.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Widmore?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Bickley Park Conservation Area is close to the centre of Widmore. 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Bromley council, which is usually the planning authority for Widmore.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
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.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. 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.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
In most cases, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and we’re NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Widmore.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- 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.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear access to the fuse board
