How air conditioning works in SW12

Any installation we do in SW12 follows the same process as everywhere else we work: a site survey, or pictures for simple jobs, then a fixed-price quote, the installation, commissioning and F-Gas records. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a portable unit with a hose out of the window and an old system that needs replacing.

Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.

  1. You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
  2. Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
  3. Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
  4. We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
  5. We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.

Air conditioning across SW12: local notes

In SW12, we install in places such as Streatham, Balham and Streatham Hill and well beyond. We cover every place we list for SW12, 7 in all.

Refrigerant work is done by F-gas qualified engineers for a certified company, and the electrics come under our NICEIC approval.

Balham: If you commute from Balham station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that’s needed. Living close to Church of St Mary? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

Pricing air conditioning in SW12

The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

  • What we find on the survey or diagnosis
  • The equipment or parts the job needs
  • The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
  • How easy the units are to reach

Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749, and we will explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
  • The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
  • The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
  • Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it

For air conditioning in SW12, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some pictures if they’re to hand. We reply the same working day.

Before you call an engineer

On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

Keeping the system healthy

Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:

  • Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
  • Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
  • Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
  • Refit filters properly after cleaning

If anything isn’t right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk it through with you.

Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early and keeps the warranty paperwork right where servicing is a condition.

Rented and managed buildings

Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.

If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.

Common questions in SW12

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. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.

Will you make a mess?

Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.

Why does F-Gas certification matter?

F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.

Is SW12 in your area?

Yes. We work in SW12 and the rest of Greater London, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.

How much does air conditioning installation cost?

For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
