Air conditioning across W1G: what to expect
Across W1G, every installation follows the same steps: 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 VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a loft room or top floor that bakes in summer and working from home in a room that gets too warm.
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
How we quote
The cost 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 work begins, so there are no surprises.

Air conditioning across W1G
Across W1G, from Fitzrovia 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.
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.
Fitzrovia: With historic houses such as Handel Hendrix House about 0.8 miles south-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Around Whitefield's Tabernacle, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Do not cover or box in the outdoor unit
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
- Have the system serviced once a year
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer, so you’re confident using it.
Report drips, noises or error codes early. A drip, a noise or a flashing light is often an early sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair small.
Common problems we fix in W1G
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. Portables push their warm air out through a hose in the window, so the window cannot close properly and the noisy part of the unit is in the room. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
Look out for these signs:
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- Too many options and no clear advice
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
What affects the quote in W1G
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What kind of system it is
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- How many units are involved
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email, and we will talk you through it.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted split systems
Single-room split systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork included. Long pipe runs, difficult access and a new circuit affect where your job sits in the range.
Outdoor unit positions
We think about noise when we choose the spot: away from bedroom windows and neighbours’ windows where possible, and on anti-vibration mounts. Position can also affect planning.
Common questions in W1G
Do you work in W1G?
Yes. We cover W1G and across Greater London, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How do you size the system?
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.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
In most cases. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
