Air Conditioning in London
Split systems, multi-room cooling, and servicing across Greater London — free surveys, fixed quotes, F-Gas certified engineers.
Air conditioning for London homes and businesses
London properties face a distinct cooling challenge: Victorian terraces with poor airflow, modern flats with south-facing heat gain, and commercial units where comfort directly affects productivity. Summers are hotter and longer than a generation ago, yet many buildings were never designed for mechanical cooling.
We install and service wall-mounted split systems, multi-split setups, and commercial cassettes across Greater London. From leasehold flats in Canary Wharf to period homes in Kensington, we specify quiet inverter units suited to dense urban settings and local noise expectations.
Our engineers work within F-Gas regulations and advise on permitted development, conservation areas, and landlord consent where required. Every project starts with a free on-site survey and a fixed, itemised quote.
Serving London including Canary Wharf, the City of London, Kensington, Shoreditch and Greenwich.

Frequently asked questions
How much does air conditioning cost in London?
Costs depend on access, pipe runs, unit capacity, and system size. London installs can involve parking, access, and scaffolding factors. We provide fixed quotes after a free survey.
Do you cover all of Greater London?
Yes. We serve inner and outer London boroughs across the main postcode areas. Availability for same-week surveys varies by area — submit a quote request with your postcode and we will confirm the next available slot.
Do I need planning permission for AC in London?
Most wall-mounted residential units fall under permitted development in England, but listed buildings, conservation areas, and some leaseholds require approval. We advise on borough-specific requirements during your survey and can supply technical details for landlord or freeholder applications.
How long does installation take in London?
A standard single-room installation usually takes one day. Multi-room or commercial projects may need two days depending on access and electrical work. We schedule to minimise disruption and handle waste removal as part of the job.
What about noise for London flats?
We specify ultra-quiet inverter models and plan condenser placement to meet typical borough noise limits — often around 42 dB(A) at the nearest sensitive receptor. Balcony mounting and acoustic enclosures are options where external units face neighbours.
Which brands do you install?
We fit leading manufacturers including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, and Panasonic. Brand choice depends on room size, noise requirements, and budget — we recommend options during the survey rather than pushing a single range.
