Our air conditioning service in W1F
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. Common call-outs are for a loft conversion that’s too warm to use and portable units that are noisy and barely cope, across multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
What affects the price in W1F

How to get a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
Around Soho
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around LITE Regal International School, London Library and St Anne's Church. Also close by are Bar Soho (less than half a mile north), St Anne's Churchyard (less than half a mile south-west), Soho Parish CofE Primary School (within half a mile south-west) and Harris Westminster Sixth Form (0.9 miles south). There’s a railway station in Soho itself: Tottenham Court Road station. A little further out are Kingly Court (less than half a mile west) and Montfichet's Tower (1.3 miles east). Green spaces nearby include St. James's Park Lake and Ludgate Hill.
Air conditioning across W1F: local notes
In W1F, 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.
From London flats to coastal homes and country cottages, London and the South East have every kind of property. We are F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps.
Soho: Older streets near St Anne's Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. If you commute from Tottenham Court Road station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that’s needed.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Central heating repairs
Managing agents and facilities teams in W1F
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Why act early?
Where the outdoor unit goes matters to you and to the neighbours. Placing it well keeps noise away from bedrooms and boundaries and makes servicing easier, and it can affect whether planning permission is needed. We agree it with you on the survey.
What your quote should include
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Questions from W1F
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
Which type of system should I choose?
It depends on the rooms and the building. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. That covers supply, installation, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork and is fixed after a survey or from pictures.
