About air conditioning in DA18
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and people most often call us about a home office that warms up with screens and equipment and bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer.
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures 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.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Pricing in DA18
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Where we install in DA18
In DA18, we install in places such as Belvedere, Thamesmead and Crossness and well beyond. We cover every place we list for DA18, 3 in all.
We reply to enquiries from DA18 the same working day, with a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Belvedere: About 2.3 miles south-west stands Red House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Plenty of people near Belvedere station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
What affects the quote in DA18
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The address and the type of property
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
What the work involves, system by system
Ceiling cassettes
For wide rooms, a cassette spreads the air more evenly than one wall unit, and the slim grille sits neatly in the ceiling.
Ducted systems
Ducted units can feed several rooms through a network of ducts, and they’re easiest to fit while ceilings are open, such as during a refurbishment.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
DA18: your questions answered
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which type of system should I choose?
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 and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust points out that an air-to-air heat pump is often just called air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
