Home air conditioning in Greenwich
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. We cover Greenwich as part of London, roughly 5 miles from central London. Coverage includes SE10.
Rooms and systems
For landlords with several properties around Greenwich, one plan keeps every system's records together. In an older house in Greenwich, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. In Greenwich apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. If your home in Greenwich is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit.
If heating matters as much as cooling, an air-to-air heat pump sized for winter can replace old electric heaters room by room, and still cool in summer. Existing systems need care too: an annual service, an occasional deep clean and prompt repairs keep them efficient and quiet.
Guide prices in Greenwich
As a guide, homes in Greenwich can expect £1,895–£4,545 per system for conservatory air conditioning, £7,195–£19,745 per system for a ducted system and £125–£245 per system visit for a service, VAT included. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent. Flats need more care: get your freeholder's written consent first, and expect the planning rules for a block of flats in Greenwich to be stricter than for a house.
Greenwich is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
