How air conditioning works in CM7
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Common call-outs are for old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient and too many options and no clear advice, across ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and VRF systems.
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos 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.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Pricing in CM7
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Where we install in CM7
In CM7, we install in places such as Braintree, Bocking and Bocking Churchstreet and well beyond. We cover every place we list for CM7, 17 in all.
Enquiries from CM7 get a reply on the working day they arrive. For a breakdown, use the 24/7 line.
Braintree: If you commute from Braintree station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed. Homes near Congregational Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in CM7 and across Essex. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
Why act early?
New systems now use lower-impact refrigerants. Since 2025, new single split systems with less than 3 kg of refrigerant cannot use F gases with a GWP above 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. R410A, used in many older systems, has a GWP of 2088.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
What air conditioning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air conditioning won’t do:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
A ducted system needs a ceiling void or loft deep enough for the unit and ducts, and access for servicing. The survey confirms whether there’s room.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Larger buildings may suit VRF, which runs many indoor units from shared outdoor units. Commercial and VRF systems are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.
CM7 questions
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How long will the installation take?
A single-room system is usually fitted in a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. The price is fixed before work begins.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
