Air conditioning across SE7: what to expect
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. The work covers ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are commercial rooms that are too warm for staff and a room that’s unbearable on warm days.
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
What affects the price in SE7
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Message us from anywhere in SE7 and you’ll hear back the same working day. For a breakdown, use the 24/7 line.
Charlton: If you work from home near Charlton station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. With historic houses such as Queen's House about 1.9 miles west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Common problems we fix in SE7
Not everyone is after cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, which means more heat out than electricity in. Most modern split systems work this way.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
What affects the cost of air conditioning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Before you get in touch
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Your installation or service records

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
Leave it or put it right?
Size matters more than brand. Too small, and it runs flat out without catching up; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Getting the sizing right at the survey stage avoids both problems.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- If the figure could change on the day
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
FAQs for SE7
How much is air conditioning for one room?
Typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT for a single-room split, depending on the room, the access and the pipe route. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
A single-room system is usually fitted in a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Usually, 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Which type of system should I choose?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
