About air conditioning in BR5
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Send a few pictures of the rooms and the outside walls when you ring 07833 053749 or send an email, and you’ll hear back from us the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. Common call-outs are for not knowing which system, size or brand to choose and rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in, on VRF systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Pricing in BR5
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Air conditioning around BR5
Across BR5, from Orpington, Bromley and St Mary Cray to the villages, homes range from older terraces and cottages to new estates and flats. Each install starts with a survey of the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote.
We are based in East Grinstead and work across London and the South East, BR5 included. Every job starts with a site survey or photos, then a fixed-price quote.
Orpington: If you work from home near St Mary Cray station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. If your home is in one of the older streets near St Andrew's, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
After we have gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, or as the manual recommends, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.
Common problems we fix in BR5
Not everyone is after cooling. Old direct electric heaters turn electricity straight into heat, while a heat pump moves heat in from the outside air, which means more heat out than electricity in. Most modern split systems work this way.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- A business premises that overheats in summer
What affects the cost of air conditioning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- What kind of system it is
- The size of the job
- How easy the units are to reach
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Before you get in touch
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
System by system
Ducted systems
Ducted units can feed several rooms through a network of ducts, which suits new builds, extensions and refurbishments where ceilings are open.
Wall-mounted split systems
A single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. Where you sit in that range depends on the pipe run, access and electrics.
BR5: your questions answered
How much is air conditioning for one room?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How long will the installation take?
Allow anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
