Wall Mounted Air Conditioning Units

Wall Mounted Air Conditioning Units to air condition homes in Lodon without an external condenser box

Wall Mounted Air Conditioning Units

Fully internal heat-pump air conditioning for London homes – with no conventional outdoor condenser.

Cool You’s wall-mounted air conditioning units provide powerful, quiet cooling for apartments, listed buildings and other properties where an outdoor condenser is unsuitable, restricted or simply unwanted.

Each system combines a sleek, wall-mounted room unit with a compact, water-cooled condenser concealed elsewhere in your property.

Our experienced, F-Gas-certified engineers install everything, with no subcontractors and minimal disruption to your home.

Wall-Mounted Air Conditioning Without an Outdoor Unit

Most conventional wall-mounted air conditioning systems connect to a large condenser installed outside the property. This can create problems in London apartments, leasehold developments, listed buildings and conservation areas.

Cool You offers a different solution.

Our wall-mounted air conditioning uses a compact, internal water-cooled condenser instead of a conventional outdoor unit. The room unit delivers the cooling you expect from premium fitted air conditioning, while the condenser sits discreetly inside a cupboard, utility area, bathroom, cloakroom or beneath a suitable worktop.

No conventional condenser is attached to an outside wall, balcony or roof. This preserves your property's external appearance and makes permanent air conditioning possible in many homes where a traditional system cannot be installed.

Ideal for Retrofit Installation in London Homes

Fully internal wall-mounted air conditioning installation in a London apartmentFully internal wall-mounted air conditioning is idea for London apartments

Wall-mounted air conditioning is normally the most straightforward choice when cooling an existing home.

The room unit is positioned high on the wall, allowing it to distribute cooled air effectively without taking up valuable floor space. Refrigeration pipework is concealed wherever the property allows, and the compact internal condenser is installed out of sight.

Wall-mounted systems are particularly suitable for:

  • Modern London apartments
  • Leasehold flats
  • Bedrooms and living rooms
  • Open-plan kitchens and living areas
  • Home offices and studies
  • Loft conversions
  • Listed and period properties
  • Conservation-area homes
  • High-rise developments
  • Properties without a balcony or suitable external wall
  • Homes where the owner does not want an outside condenser

How Does Fully Internal Wall-Mounted Air Conditioning Work?

The wall-mounted room unit cools and dehumidifies the air much like a conventional premium split air conditioning system.

The key difference is how it removes the collected heat.

A conventional system transfers heat to an outdoor condenser. A Cool You system transfers it through concealed refrigeration pipework to a compact water-cooled condenser installed inside your property. The condenser uses a controlled water supply to carry away the unwanted heat.

The system uses water only when cooling is required. Its motorised control valve regulates flow automatically and closes when water isn't needed.

The installation consists of:

  1. A quiet wall-mounted room unit in each room being cooled.
  2. Concealed refrigeration pipework connecting the room unit to the condenser.
  3. A compact internal condenser positioned discreetly within the property.
  4. Connections to the property’s water supply, drainage and electrical services.

Everything remains inside the property, with no conventional condenser box mounted externally.

Choose the Right Wall-Mounted Unit for Your Room

Every property is different, so we calculate each room's cooling requirement before recommending a system.

Factors include:

  • Room dimensions
  • Ceiling height
  • Window size and orientation
  • Solar heat gain
  • Insulation and ventilation
  • Room use and occupancy
  • Heat generated by appliances
  • The position of the proposed room unit
  • The number of rooms requiring cooling

    Wall-Mounted or Hidden Ducted Air Conditioning?

    Cool You offers two principal room-unit options.

    Wall-Mounted Air Conditioning

    Wall-mounted units are generally the best option for retrofitting completed homes. They can be installed with minimal disruption and provide an efficient, cost-effective way to cool individual rooms or multiple areas.

    They are ideal when:

    • The property is already decorated
    • Extensive building work is not planned
    • Ceiling void space is limited
    • Installation speed is important
    • You want straightforward access for servicing

    Hidden Ducted Air Conditioning

    A hidden ducted system conceals the room unit within a ceiling void, bulkhead or purpose-built joinery. Only discreet supply and return-air grilles remain visible.

    Ducted systems are generally best suited to full refurbishments, listed properties and high-end interiors where the most discreet possible finish is required.

    Explore our hidden ducted air conditioning systems.

    What Happens During Installation?

    Before installation, our surveyor assesses your property, calculates the required cooling capacity and agrees on the positions of the room units, internal condenser and pipework.

    For many standard wall-mounted installations:

    • Our in-house engineers arrive at approximately 8 am.
    • We securely position the room unit high on the wall.
    • We install the internal condenser in the agreed cupboard, utility space, bathroom, cloakroom or other suitable location.
    • Refrigeration pipework is concealed wherever practical.
    • We complete water, drainage and electrical connections.
    • We pressure-test, commission and check the complete system.
    • Your engineer explains the controls and how to use the system efficiently.
    • We clean the working areas before we leave.
    • We typically complete installations between 4 pm and 5 pm.

    More complex and multi-room installations can take longer. We will explain the expected programme before work begins.

    Cool You’s own F-Gas-certified, DBS-checked engineers complete every installation. We do not outsource installations to subcontractors.

    Every Cool You air conditioning system is unique

    We will guide you to an exclusive bespoke solution, meticulously crafted for your property and installed by our in-house team. Others may try to match our systems, but they can't replicate the unique touch we bring to each project. It’s pretty flattering, we must admit!

    Our prices include the entire supply, installation, commissioning, bullet-proof 6-year parts, and labour warranty - subject to a signed ongoing maintenance agreement.

    In many cases, just a single system can eliminate the heat build-up in your apartment - we never over-specify.

    Whether you decide to do one or all rooms, we will provide you with a single appropriately sized condenser that allows you full independent control of each room.

    Every time we up-size the condenser to add an additional unit, the condenser becomes more sophisticated and complex and more than doubles in price, hence why we charge on a per-room basis - This is not a cost-saving exercise; it's a space-saving exercise.
