Air conditioning in RM19: how it works
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in and an ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life.
The work area is kept tidy throughout, 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.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.

Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

If you work from home near Purfleet station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.
What happens if it’s left?
The outdoor unit’s position is worth getting right first time. A good position keeps noise down and leaves room for servicing, and it can affect whether planning permission is needed. We agree it with you on the survey.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What’s in the price and what is not
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
We clear up before we go: dust sheets lifted, offcuts and packaging cleared, and the holes for the pipework sealed. Outside, the pipework is neatly fixed and protected, so the job looks as tidy as it works.
Don’t ignore small changes. A drip, a noise or a flashing light is often an early sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair small.
What the work involves, system by system
Pipework and condensate drains
Air conditioning takes moisture out of the air when it cools, and the condensate drain carries it away. If gravity will not do it, a condensate pump is fitted and we allow for that in the quote.
Outdoor unit positions
The outdoor unit can go on a wall bracket, on the ground or on a flat roof, depending on the property and the pipe route. It needs space around it to breathe and for an engineer to work on it.
Let and managed properties
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Common questions in RM19
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
It takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and we are NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
