About air conditioning in SW7
Any installation we do in SW7 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 multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are a business premises that overheats in summer and rooms heated by plug-in heaters.
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
What affects the price in SW7
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 struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, call us on 07833 053749 and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Local landmarks in Kensington
Around Kensington, our work takes us to homes and businesses near Church of St Barnabas, Kensington School and St Barnabas and St Philip's CofE Primary School and the streets around them. You’ll also find Holland Park (under half a mile north-west), Holland Park School (within half a mile north), Scarsdale Tavern (within half a mile south-east) and Abdus Salam Library (1 mile east). There’s a railway station in Kensington itself: Kensington Olympia station. A little further out are Kensington Arcade (within half a mile east) and London Museum (0.7 miles north-east).

Air conditioning across SW7: local notes
Across SW7, from Kensington, Brompton and South Kensington to the villages, homes range from older terraces and cottages to new estates and flats. Each install starts with a survey of the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote.
We’re based in East Grinstead and work across London and the South East, SW7 included. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed-price quote.
Kensington: Living close to Church of St Barnabas? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. With historic houses such as Leighton House about 0.1 miles south, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted split systems
Bedrooms, offices and living spaces are where wall-mounted units are most often fitted. The unit goes where it spreads the air well and the filters are easy to reach rather than blowing straight at the bed or desk.
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork plus an access hatch for maintenance. The survey confirms whether there’s room.
Common problems we fix in SW7
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and the heat lingers long after the sun has moved round.
What we are most often called about:
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- An office, shop or restaurant that is uncomfortable for staff and customers
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in SW7
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- What kind of system it is
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Common questions in SW7
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
It depends on the rooms, the system and the pipe route, but a single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
