The survey

A survey in Chingford usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.

FAQ

Common questions in Chingford

Can I get a price for Chingford without a visit?

Yes, our online guide price tool gives a range in about a minute. A fixed price needs a survey, which is free for new installations.

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Chingford?

Most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions. Flats and listed buildings usually need permission or consent. We check on survey.

How soon can you survey in Chingford?

We offer survey dates when you enquire. Early summer is the busiest time, so spring and autumn are the easiest times to book.

How long does the installation take in Chingford?

Usually one day. We confirm the timing, and any days with no cooling or heating, in your written quote.

Who carries out the work in Chingford?

F-gas certified engineers working for Aircon Installers. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which trades as Aircon Installers, and your quote names who will do the work and the F-gas company certificate that covers it.

Do consoles cool as well as wall units?

They cool well, but cold air sinks, so a high wall unit spreads cooling further across a large room. In most living rooms a console is perfectly comfortable.
