About air conditioning in CM9
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see, and we explain the options on the survey. The work covers ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about a home office that warms up with screens and equipment and a system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement.
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system, and we clear up before we go.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- 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.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
How we quote
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Air conditioning across CM9: local notes
Planning rules are the same across England, CM9 included: cooling-only units are not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
CM9 is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. One phone number covers all of it. CM9 includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of outdoor coils and fixings. We choose positions and fixings with that in mind.
Maldon: Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start. Homes near Church of St Mary are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
Different systems, different jobs
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. An older board may need extra work and we will tell you if yours does.
Wall-mounted split systems
Single-room split systems are 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.
Common problems we fix in CM9
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. A portable unit has to vent its warm air through a hose out of a window, which lets some heat back in, and its compressor sits in the room with you. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- An office, shop or restaurant that is uncomfortable for staff and customers
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
Leave it or put it right?
If you’re thinking about air conditioning for a property in CM9, there’s no need to wait for a heatwave. The installation takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer, and the date is agreed with you once you’re happy with the quote.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
FAQs for CM9
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
It can do. The rules differ for heat pumps and cooling-only air conditioning, and for houses, flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We point out anything that may need permission at the survey, and the council has the final say. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
A single-room system is normally fitted in a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Will you need to do electrical work?
In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and we’re NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.
