About air conditioning in SW19

Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. We are often asked to deal with rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night and too many options and no clear advice, across wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes.

Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.

  1. We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
  2. Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
  3. On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
  4. Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
  5. It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.

What you’ll pay

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

Air conditioning around SW19

Our air conditioning work across SW19 takes in places such as Wimbledon, Putney and Colliers Wood and the smaller places around them. Every place on our SW19 list (18 in all) is covered.

SW19 is within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. Every job starts with a site survey or photos, then a fixed-price quote.

Wimbledon: Older streets near St. Mark's Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Southside House (roughly 1.1 miles south-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

Different systems, different jobs

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 the inspection and get the system ready for it.

Outdoor unit positions

The outdoor unit can go on a wall bracket, on the ground or on a flat roof, whatever suits the building and the route. It needs airflow around it and room for servicing.

How we price air conditioning

You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:

  • The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
  • What kind of system it is
  • How easy the units are to reach
  • A single visit or a regular plan

The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What we need to know

You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

  • The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
  • The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
  • The make and model of the system, from the label
  • A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed

Need a price for air conditioning? Please phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details about the property. We will explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before anything is booked.

When something else is needed

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air conditioning will not do:

  • A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
  • Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
  • Draughts and missing insulation

Managing agents and facilities teams in SW19

Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.

From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.

Questions from SW19

What size air conditioning unit do I need?

It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.

Can I have air conditioning in a flat?

That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.

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 systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.

What accreditations do you have?

As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.

When will I hear back?

You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.

Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?

Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust points out that an air-to-air heat pump is often just called air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
