Air conditioning across EC2A: what to expect

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, ducted systems and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a loft room or top floor that bakes in summer and an ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life.

The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access, and we clear up before we go.

  1. First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
  2. We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
  3. Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
  4. Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
  5. We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.

Air conditioning across EC2A

In EC2A, as across England, the same permitted development rules apply: an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools can be permitted development on a house, but cooling-only units, listed buildings and outdoor units facing a road in conservation areas need more care.

Enquiries from EC2A get a reply on the working day they arrive. Breakdowns can go to the 24/7 line instead.

Barbican Estate: Living close to St Giles-without-Cripplegate? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. Mansion House (roughly 0.5 miles south-east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

Different systems, different jobs

Wall-mounted split systems

For one room, a wall-mounted split is often the simplest answer. One unit inside, one outside, connected by pipework, a cable and a drain, routed as agreed on the survey.

Offices, shops and commercial rooms

Offices and shops normally need several units and sensible central controls. We size for the people, equipment and glazing in the space, and plan the work so the business keeps running.

What affects the cost of air conditioning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
  • The condition of any existing system
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Whether we need access equipment for high-level work

Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

What to send for a quote

Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • The address and the type of property
  • Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
  • Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
  • Your consumer unit or fuse board

Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Book an annual service
  • Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
  • Shut doors and windows when it’s on
  • Keep the handover documents somewhere safe

You get the paperwork that matters: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. File them together as they’re needed for servicing and any warranty question.

Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.

Common problems we fix in EC2A

Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A small office or a busy room can warm up fast with equipment and people in it, even on a mild day.

Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A portable unit with a hose out of the window
  • A business premises that overheats in summer
  • Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
  • An old system that needs replacing

FAQs for EC2A

How quickly will you reply?

On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s 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.

Do you work in EC2A?

Yes. We cover EC2A and across Greater London, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Do you provide F-Gas records?

Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.

Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?

Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You will normally need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route, so check the lease. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.

Will you need to do electrical work?

In most cases. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
