How air conditioning works in WC2B
We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, with VRF for larger buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see, and we explain the options on the survey. The work covers ducted systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer and a loft room or top floor that bakes in summer.
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- 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.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.

Air conditioning across WC2B: local notes
Planning rules are the same across England, WC2B included: cooling-only units aren’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
WC2B is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. You reach the same people wherever you are in it.
Temple Bar: With historic houses such as Dr Johnson's House about 0.2 miles north-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Older streets near Temple Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
System by system
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Bigger systems in buildings come with extra duties, including a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange and prepare for it.
Ducted systems
Ducted air conditioning hides the indoor unit in a ceiling void or loft, and all you see is a discreet grille. It’s popular where people don’t want a unit on the wall.
Rented and managed buildings
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Book an annual service
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
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, or as the manual recommends, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.
Signs you need air conditioning
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 on a mild day.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Too many options and no clear advice
- An office, shop or restaurant that is uncomfortable for staff and customers
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
Your questions about air conditioning in WC2B
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can I have air conditioning 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.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Usually, yes. 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.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
