Our air conditioning for Kent apartments and listed buildings is perfectly suited to homeowners who struggle with the following:
If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you’re in the right place. Call us on 020 8080 9708 to discuss our air conditioning solutions for apartments in Kent.
At Urban Cooling, we provide fully internal air conditioning, which requires no exterior modifications to your property. All of our solutions offer the same performance as conventional air conditioning. The difference is, you don’t need planning permission because they don’t require an external unit to be installed.
Most air conditioning companies in Kent can’t offer solutions for new build apartments, converted listed buildings, or properties that are in a conservation area. In these properties installing a conventional air conditioning system with an external condenser is not possible due to planning permission restrictions (exterior modifications are not allowed) or simply due to a lack of space.
New build apartment owners in Kent are often not permitted to make exterior modifications to the building. Similarly, those living in listed properties and buildings in conservation areas usually require planning permission to alter a building’s exterior.
This can mean that air conditioning installation in Kent can be challenging as you need to work within these restrictions.
Not all new-build apartments have the same restrictions, there are buildings where external air conditioning condensers can be installed.
However, the issue with these buildings may simply be a lack of space. You might have a balcony but an external condenser will mean your outdoor space becomes extremely restricted. You also might not want to block your window with an air con unit.
Our internal air conditioning systems operate in a similar way to conventional split-type air conditioning systems that have an external ‘unit’. However, rather than using the outside air to cool the heated gas refrigerant, our system is designed to use water instead. This means that the system is fully internal as it does not need an outdoor condenser, just a water supply and waste drain to connect to the indoor condenser.
Our water cooled condenser unit is purposefully designed to be concealed out of view for aesthetic reasons and space efficiency. Our smallest condenser measures just 500mm x 500mm x 295mm, allowing it to be conveniently stored in cupboards or under a sink. This makes it ideal for properties where space is at a premium.
Our air conditioning systems utilise the latest refrigerant pipework, all of which is contained within your property. This means nothing needs to be installed externally and we don’t need access to the outside of your property to fit your system.
All our indoor units are WiFi enabled allowing you to control your air conditioning from your phone. This enables you to set the temperature remotely so you'll never have to worry about leaving your air conditioning on or having to arrive home to a hot and stuffy apartment.
Just like with a conventional split system, our water cooled condenser units can be connected to a range of different indoor units. This includes multiple customisable wall unit options, as well as floor mounted and ducted units hidden behind a grill, as long as you have sufficient void space above your ceiling.
Our internal wall-mounted room units are the quietest on the market, with our Urban Designer model operating at just 19dBa. While our condensers operate at a similar volume to a quiet washing machine (they can also be installed with an acoustic jacket to hide their noise further).
Our internal water cooled air conditioning systems are rated AAA for electrical energy efficiency.
Our fully internal water cooled systems have no external elements and therefore remove the need for planning permission. They are the only integrated solution for properties where external modifications are not permitted.
Our condensers and wall units blend seamlessly into your property's design, ensuring your property’s aesthetics remain untouched.
One of our water cooled condensers has the capacity to cool up to 5 rooms at once!
With the convenience of controlling your air conditioning from your phone, never worry about returning to an uncomfortably hot home.
Investing in our systems improves your property's rentability and value, potentially leading to a positive return on investment.
There is minimal disruption during installation by our F-gas registered engineers.
Our quiet air conditioning systems not only cool you effectively, but also enable you to focus, relax, and sleep undisturbed.
With an AAA rating for electrical energy efficiency, you can stay cool without worrying about skyrocketing electricity bills.
All of our systems come with a full 12-month parts and labour warranty. This can be extended to up to 5 years, with the first three years covering both parts and labour, and the final two years covering parts only. Please note to maintain the extended warranty, annual servicing by our maintenance team is required.
Our systems don’t compromise on performance, as they offer equivalent cooling efficiency to conventional air conditioning units.
We provide Wi-Fi-enabled water cooled air conditioning solutions that you can control using a tablet or mobile device. Whether you’re at home or out and about, as long as you’re connected to the internet, you can control your water cooled air conditioning system.
Our Urban Designer range combines our Water Cooled condensers with a sleek, modern wall-mounted unit. With swappable textile covers, this unit is able to be customised to match the style of any room. Not only that, the wifi app control, whisper-quiet operation, reliability, leading air quality and purifier air filtration really do make this a premier water cooled air conditioning solution.

The fully-internal water-cooled air conditioning system doesn’t require planning permission. This is ideal for apartment owners as there is no external unit and no external modification to the property is required.
If the air conditioning system is to be installed into a listed building or a property within a conservation area, you may be unsure whether installation is permitted. If this is the case, we suggest you seek advice from your local planning office
Our wide range of internal water air conditioning systems provide a cooling capacity of up to 15kw and a cooling power input of up to 5kw. This makes our internal systems as powerful and efficient as any conventional air conditioning unit.
Our internal water cooled air conditioner can supply up to 8 rooms with cool air at the specified desired temperature, easily controlled with our smartphone app or remote.
The installation process for this system is straightforward and takes on average one day per indoor unit.
Firstly, we install the condenser and connect it to your water mains, drainage and electrical supply. Its compact design makes it easy to conceal in a utility room or cupboard.
Next the indoor units (which can be wall mounted, floor mounted or ducted) are installed in each room which requires cooling. The optimal locations are established at survey stage, ensuring the property is cooled in the most efficient way.
We have a wide range of condensers that increase in size depending on the number of indoor units they are required to provide cool air to. The smallest condenser we have is just 500mm x 500mm x 295mm.
Our water cooled system does provide heating; however, we advise only using this as a backup and not a primary source of heating for your home.
Yes, if you were to sell or move out of your property and you wish to take your system with you we would need to attend and decommission the system. This would involve pumping down the system so the refrigerant is safely stored inside the condenser unit, isolating the electrical power and communication cables and then taking down the units from the walls - please note that there will be some small holes in the wall that would need to be repaired after the wall units have been taken down.
We currently have a showroom at our warehouse in Chatham, Kent. We only take visits by appointment, so if you're interested in looking at our air conditioning units in person give us a call on 020 8080 9708.
