Air conditioning across ME3: what to expect

A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. Typical jobs include rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in and portable units that are noisy and barely cope, across ducted systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.

We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.

  1. We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
  2. We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
  3. The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
  4. The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
  5. Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.

How we quote

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email for straight advice and a fixed price.

Air conditioning across ME3: local notes

Hoo St Werburgh: If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Werburgh, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. About 3.6 miles south-west stands Restoration House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

Common problems we fix in ME3

Commercial spaces gain heat from people, equipment, lighting and glazing. Keeping staff and customers comfortable is normally what prompts the call, along with keeping equipment rooms at a steady temperature.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
  • Working from home in a room that gets too warm
  • Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
  • Portable units that are noisy and barely cope

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.

Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Leave it or put it right?

Refrigerant rules have changed what new systems use. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg can’t use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. R410A, used in many older systems, has a GWP of 2088.

Questions to ask before you book

  • If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis

Different systems, different jobs

Ducted systems

Ducted units can feed several rooms through a network of ducts, which suits new builds, extensions and refurbishments where ceilings are open.

Ceiling cassettes

Cassettes are good at even airflow across a large floor area, and the slim grille sits neatly in the ceiling.

FAQs for ME3

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.

Can I have air conditioning in a flat?

That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.

Do you work on all makes?

We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

How do you size the system?

Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.

How much does air conditioning installation cost?

It depends on the rooms, the system and the pipe route, but a single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.

What warranty do I get?

Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?

It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
