Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Greenwich
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. If your home in Greenwich is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit.
If your Greenwich home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. Greenwich lies roughly 5 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. That includes the SE10 postcode district.
Prices in Greenwich
For Greenwich, expect roughly £2,195 to £10,495 per home, one room upwards, VAT included, adjusted for typical London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. What moves a quote in Greenwich up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. For reference, the Concealed option in Greenwich (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) usually comes to about £4,545–£7,195.
Console
Low-level console in place of a radiator, rear outdoor unit.
Concealed
Ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms.
Mixed
Consoles downstairs and ducted upstairs on one system.
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%.
Listed building consent
Period homes in Greenwich that are not listed can usually follow the normal rules for outdoor units, but listed buildings always need consent, and conservation areas restrict units on elevations facing a road. England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
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. Surveys in Greenwich cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
