Air conditioning in SW20: how it works
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. Common call-outs are for a study or office that overheats during the day and expensive direct electric heating, across multi-split systems, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Pricing in SW20
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Local landmarks in Bushey Mead
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around Cannon Hill Common, Joseph Hood Primary School and Ursuline Preparatory School, among other places. Other local landmarks include Dundonald Church (within half a mile north), The Edward Rayne pub (within half a mile west) and Harris Academy Wimbledon (less than half a mile south-east). There’s a railway station in Bushey Mead itself: Raynes Park station. Nearby you will also find Atkinson Morley Hospital (0.9 miles north-west) and Chessington Castle Hill (4.6 miles south-west). Open spaces near Bushey Mead include Cherry Wood and Henman Hill.
Air conditioning across SW20
In SW20, as across England, the same permitted development rules apply: cooling-only units are not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
We reply to enquiries from SW20 the same working day, with a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Bushey Mead: Homes near Dundonald Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. Plenty of people near Raynes Park station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.
Rented and managed buildings
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically 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.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What affects the cost of air conditioning
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The size of the job
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Report drips, noises or error codes straight away
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
The work area is left tidy: dust sheets lifted, offcuts and packaging cleared, and the holes for the pipework sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed as agreed on the survey.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.
Your questions about air conditioning in SW20
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Is air conditioning possible 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.
Will I need planning permission?
That depends on what’s being fitted and where. In England, an air source heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, so check with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
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.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
