AIR CONDITIONING HACKNEY
Air conditioning for Hackney homes and businesses.
Summer heat builds up fast in Hackney’s top-floor flats, loft conversions and glass-backed kitchen extensions, and in its busy restaurants, bars and studios. A properly sized split system keeps those rooms comfortable in a heatwave and, because most modern units are reversible heat pumps, can heat them efficiently in winter too.
We install new systems, repair faulty ones and service existing equipment across the borough, whoever fitted it. Every installation starts with a free survey so the system, the outdoor unit position and the pipe route are agreed before any work is booked.
Houses, flats & lofts
Bedrooms, open-plan living spaces, loft rooms, garden studios and home offices in terraced houses, conversions and apartment blocks.
Shops, restaurants & workspaces
Cafés and restaurants on Mare Street and Broadway Market, shops on Kingsland High Street, and studios, small offices and venues in Dalston and Hackney Wick.

SYSTEM OPTIONS
Choosing an air conditioning system for a Hackney property.
The right system depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much wall and ceiling space there is, and where an outdoor unit can sensibly go. These are the options we fit most often in Hackney.
Wall-mounted split
One indoor unit and one outdoor unit. The simplest and usually most affordable way to cool a bedroom, a loft room or a home office.
Multi-split
Two or more indoor units sharing a single outdoor unit, which keeps external equipment to a minimum on a terrace or in a flat.
Ceiling cassette
Recessed into a suspended ceiling with only the grille on show. Common in cafés, shops, studios and small offices.
Ducted system
Hidden in a ceiling void or loft with slim grilles in each room. A good fit when a loft conversion or refurbishment leaves ceilings open.
VRF / VRV
Larger systems serving many rooms or floors from shared outdoor plant, used in bigger commercial units, venues and some residential buildings.
Not sure what you need?

MANUFACTURERS
Air conditioning brands we fit and repair.
We install, service and repair Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Toshiba, LG and Samsung systems. If you are not sure which brand you have, a photo of the outdoor unit label is enough for us to identify it.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
What to consider before installing air conditioning in Hackney.
These points rarely stop a project, but they affect where equipment goes and how long it takes to arrange. We cover each one during the survey.
Hackney Council and conservation areas
Hackney Council is the local planning authority and much of the borough is covered by conservation areas. Outdoor units visible from the street can need planning permission, so it is worth checking with the council for your address before positions are fixed.
Listed and locally listed buildings
Some Georgian and Victorian houses, chapels and former industrial buildings are listed. Work affecting their character can need listed building consent, so we check before proposing equipment positions.
Leases and freeholders
In flats and conversions, external walls and roofs usually belong to the freeholder. Most leases need their written consent before anything is fixed outside, and we can provide the drawings and product details they ask for.
Noise and neighbours
With back gardens close together, we choose quiet outdoor units, use anti-vibration mounts and keep equipment away from neighbouring bedroom windows wherever we can.
Outdoor unit positions
Rear walls, extension flat roofs, gardens, balconies and roof terraces are the usual options. Warehouse conversions often allow roof or courtyard positions, subject to the building owner.
Access, parking and stairs
Controlled parking zones, upper-floor flats without lifts and narrow side passages all affect how equipment gets in. We plan deliveries and access in advance.
HOW IT WORKS
Survey. Quote. Install. Commission. Service.
Free survey
We visit, look at the rooms and the building, and talk through how you want to use the system.
Written quote
A clear quote setting out the equipment, positions and pipe routes, plus any consents you may need.
Installation
Booked for a day that suits you, with rooms protected and cleaned up afterwards.
Commissioning
Pressure testing, vacuuming and performance checks, then a walkthrough of the controls.
Servicing
Regular maintenance and 24/7 repair support for the life of the system.
HACKNEY PROPERTIES
Air conditioning for every kind of Hackney home.
From Victorian terraces around London Fields to new-build towers in Hackney Wick, each building type brings its own options for indoor units, outdoor units and pipe routes.
Victorian terraces
Outdoor units normally go on the rear wall or the back extension roof, with pipework run inside or kept tidy in trunking along the back of the house.
Conversions & maisonettes
Flats in converted houses share walls and roofs, so freeholder consent and a compact multi-split system are often the practical route.
Warehouse & live/work lofts
High ceilings, large windows and open-plan layouts in Hackney Wick and Dalston need careful sizing and often suit ducted or larger wall-mounted units.
Council & housing association blocks
Leaseholders generally need landlord permission for external units. Balconies can sometimes be used where the lease and landlord allow it.
New-build apartments
Newer blocks often have MVHR and strict building rules on external equipment, so options depend on the managing agent.
Lofts & rear extensions
Loft conversions and glazed kitchen extensions overheat first. An extension flat roof is often the neatest place for the outdoor unit.

COMMERCIAL AIR CONDITIONING HACKNEY
Air conditioning for Hackney restaurants, shops and studios.
Kitchens, packed dining rooms and shop floors with constant door openings put air conditioning under real pressure. We install and look after systems for independent restaurants, cafés, bars, shops, salons, studios and small offices across the borough, and work early, late or at weekends to avoid disrupting trade.
Planned maintenance helps prevent breakdowns in the hottest weeks of the year. Our commercial maintenance page explains how a maintenance plan works.
Maintenance plans
Scheduled servicing with a short written report on each unit, so you know what is working well and what needs attention.
24/7 breakdown cover
Call any time if a unit fails during service or trading hours. We aim to restore cooling with as little disruption as possible.
TM44 inspections for larger systems
Businesses with larger air conditioning systems may need periodic energy assessments, commonly called TM44 inspections, separate from routine servicing. We can help you check whether your system is likely to be affected.
MORE PROJECTS
Careful installation, from brackets to commissioning.
The details that matter long after we leave: level brackets, sealed wall openings, correctly sloped drainage and tested performance.

MVHR HACKNEY
MVHR servicing for Hackney flats and new builds.
Many newer developments in Hackney Wick, Dalston and Homerton use mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. Blocked filters and unbalanced airflow lead to stuffy rooms, condensation and noisy fans. We replace filters, check fans and controls, and rebalance systems for residents, landlords and managing agents. Find out more on our MVHR servicing page.
Air conditioning Hackney FAQs
Sometimes. Outdoor units in conservation areas, on listed buildings or on walls facing the street can need planning permission from Hackney Council. Rear positions are less likely to need it, but it is always worth checking for your address. We can advise during the survey.
Usually, with the right permission. Tenants need their landlord’s agreement, and leaseholders normally need written consent from the freeholder. We can provide drawings and product information to support the request.
Most often on the rear wall, on the roof of a back extension or at ground level in the garden. We keep units off the front of the house wherever possible and plan the pipe route so it stays neat.
Yes. Most modern split systems are reversible air-to-air heat pumps, so the same unit can heat a room efficiently in winter and cool it in summer.
