About air conditioning in SW10
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 multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement and uncertainty over the right type and size of system.
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that 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.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- 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.

Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Air conditioning across SW10: local notes
In SW10, 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.
Our area stretches from Greater London through Surrey, Kent and Sussex to Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and SW10 sits within it. One phone number covers all of it.
World's End: Carlyle's House, about 0.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. If you work from home near Imperial Wharf station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.
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 arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
What the work involves, system by system
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Systems over 12 kW of effective rated output bring extra duties for the building, including a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange and prepare for it.
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. We look at walls, roofs, balconies and yards on the survey, and tell you about any permissions you may need.
Why deal with it now?
Where the outdoor unit goes matters to you and to the neighbours. A good position keeps noise down and leaves room for servicing, and it can make a difference to planning. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
After we have gone
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
- Report drips, noises or error codes straight away
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 as agreed on the survey.
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.
SW10 questions
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
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.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation and is fixed after a survey or from pictures.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Typically, yes. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
