Will there be any mess or disruption during my installation?

Unsurprisingly, one of the most frequent questions at Cool You is, “Will there be any mess or disruption during my installation?”. Or “Will major work be required for our London air conditioning installation service?”

We know it can sometimes be a headache having a team of workmen let loose in your home. Particularly for something that seems like a significant job, such as an air conditioning system.

To allay any concerns or fears you may have as a potential customer, here’s a comprehensive guide on what you can expect from us if you order one of our systems.

We completely understand your concerns.

Firstly, we understand your anxiety about having an air conditioning system fitted in your finished house or apartment.

90% of our air conditioning installations are retrofitted. Therefore, we frequently encounter similar concerns from people worried about the impact on their homes.

We understand these worries. Especially if you have an apartment, flat or house decorated to a high specification with lovely or valuable furniture that you’re worried about having to move around.

You might also be thinking about the fixtures and fittings you already have and whether they will affect the installation. Another common concern is if a customer has a fine polished or wooden floor that they worry will be scratched or damaged.

Perhaps you have pristine wallpaper or a finely painted and decorated room and can’t imagine how the installation would work. Don’t worry – we understand. Most of our work is no cause for concern and won’t affect your home or furnishings.

We have many years of experience.

We undertake hundreds of London air conditioning installations annually and have been doing it for a long time.

Notably, a significant chunk of our experience is precisely in the area that causes the most worry. Installing internal solutions in already-finished homes or apartments.

Rest assured, it’s not only apartments at the first or second fix stage that can benefit from air conditioning systems. They can be seamlessly installed later with little or no fuss.

Our in-house engineers carry out all of our London air conditioning installations.

Other companies may not use installation staff with consistent experience in this area. Or they may even contract inexperienced staff from outside their organisation.

We don’t do this. Our staff, engineers, and installers are in-house; they work for us and have been trained by us.

The team have extensive personal experience in air conditioning installations. They have ‘seen it all’ and can prepare for any home in any situation.

You may think you have a complicated bespoke job. Or you can’t understand how you can get air conditioning in your listed apartment or a very small, awkwardly laid-out flat.

Again, many of our engineers know exactly how to tackle installations in finished apartments of all kinds and shapes.

What you can expect from us when we’re in your home.

Initially, we will assess where to install the air conditioning system, taking all necessary precautions.

This includes carefully moving any furniture or objects in the way and protecting or covering ones that remain in the installation areas using professional coverings.

The same applies to any flooring.  It will be covered and protected from our footfall and any movement in the apartment. Once the protection is in place, the installation process can begin.

This is probably easier and simpler than you imagine.

We specialise in running visible installation components such as pipework and all associated system parts out of sight.

This means we often install the pipework behind walls, over ceilings, into voids or gaps in walls, and in other similar creative places where it remains out of sight without disrupting your décor or furnishings.

In an average-sized apartment, between one and three systems are usually installed to air condition the rooms you want to cool effectively.

We usually install the condenser in a utility space (for example, where washing machines or other similar utilities are kept).

Any pipework is then run from the condenser up into the ceiling voids or similar gaps, where it is kept out of sight and can be fitted seamlessly.

The pipes end in the specific rooms you’d like to have cooled, exiting in typical air conditioning vents that look exactly the same as those fitted when an apartment or house is built.

You’d be very hard-pressed to find a difference between one of our retrofitted systems and one that has been in the building from day one—there will be no parts or pipework on show, and very little, if any, touching up is required.

Extra protection and reassurance

All of our installers and engineers are fully trained, qualified, and insured to a very high level.

This is only a precaution in case of the unexpected, but it should put your mind at rest when it comes to wondering how much mess and disruption could be caused by an air conditioning unit installed in your home. The short answer is usually none at all!

If you’d like to have internal air conditioning installed in your home but aren’t sure how to go about it or how it would work in your particular house, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

At Cool You, we do our best to answer questions and reassure you that you, too, can have retro-fitted air conditioning that looks like it has always been part of your apartment’s fabric. Why not give us a call today?
