About air conditioning in EC1V
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with photos of the rooms and the outside of the property, and we will reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. We are often asked to deal with portable units that are noisy and barely cope and a room that’s unbearable on warm days, on multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ducted systems.
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- 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.
- 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.
What affects the price in EC1V
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Air conditioning across EC1V: local notes
In EC1V, we install in places such as Hoxton, Farringdon and Smithfield and well beyond. We cover every place we list for EC1V, 10 in all.
EC1V is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. You reach the same people wherever you are in it.
Farringdon: Plenty of people near Farringdon station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. If your home is in one of the older streets near St John Clerkenwell, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Why act early?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, and that is hard to put right later. A survey now gives time to choose properly.
What your quote should include
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What records you get at the end
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- File the paperwork with the manual
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Book an annual service
The handover includes the records you need: F-Gas records, commissioning details and the manufacturer’s warranty terms. Keep them with the manual, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.
Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
Signs you need air conditioning
Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. Once a bedroom has soaked up heat during the day, opening a window may not bring the temperature down far enough, particularly when there’s no breeze.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
- Fans and portables that don’t keep up
EC1V questions
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Allow about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
There’s no single best type. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Most of the time. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Typically, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
