Air conditioning across SW5: what to expect
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain, all before the price is fixed. Common call-outs are for rooms heated by plug-in heaters and uncertainty over the right type and size of system, on wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
What affects the price in SW5
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

What affects the quote in SW5
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How many units are involved
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
What we are called out for in SW5
Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A small office or a busy room can warm up fast with equipment and people in it, even when it isn’t especially hot outside.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Let filters dry fully before you put them back
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
The filters are the one part you will look after yourself, so we show you how. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, following the manual, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
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.
Let and managed properties
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in SW5 and across Greater London. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Questions from SW5
How long does air conditioning installation take?
It takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Do I need planning permission?
Not always. Permitted development can cover a heat pump on a house, including an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools since 2025, provided the conditions are met. Cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing spots in conservation areas are where it usually comes up and the survey picks it up. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you work in SW5?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes SW5.
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 systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
