How air conditioning works in E5
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about commercial rooms that are too warm for staff and a study or office that overheats during the day.
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Pricing in E5
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.

Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Air conditioning across E5
Our air conditioning work across E5 takes in places such as Homerton, West Hackney and Hackney and the smaller places around them. We cover every place we list for E5, 10 in all.

Homerton: Living close to United Reformed Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. If you commute from Homerton station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed.
Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Never run the system with the filters out
- Report drips, noises or error codes right away
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
You get the paperwork that matters: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. File them together, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, which costs you more to run.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
What happens if it’s left?
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, which is why R32, with a GWP of 675, is now common. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088.
What your quote should include
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
Signs you need air conditioning
Poor sleep is one of the most common reasons homeowners ask about air conditioning. An open window does not always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, particularly when there’s no breeze.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
Common questions in E5
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
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 notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Which brands do you work with?
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 explain why.
Do I need planning permission?
Not necessarily. Permitted development can cover a heat pump on a house, including an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools since 2025, provided the conditions are met. Permission is more likely to come up for cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing positions in conservation areas, and we tell you at the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
