Home gym and media room air conditioning in Richmond
In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep. Garage gyms and media rooms in Richmond often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment.
Basement and garage rooms in Richmond usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. We cover Richmond as part of London, roughly 8 miles from central London. Postcode districts we cover here include TW9.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
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.
The survey
We book surveys in Richmond at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
