Great system, cooling effective but could be quieter

This is a very good company. The only thing is I had to get a few more pipes and new filters installed to make the units quieter…. There were too many gurgling sounds which are not ideal when trying to sleep! The team fixed all of that which was great but I’d expect the units to be inspected for this sort of thing before installing the systems

My air conditioning was fitted a year ago and the fitting process was quick and easy, although it did take me 8 months to find someone who would re-plaster and pàint the ceiling. Once I worked out the correct settings in order to get the full benefit from my air conditioning, I have been very pleased with it and during the summer it got a lot of use. I was given good notice of the upcoming service due date and given lots of appointment options to fit in with my availability. I was initially a bit nervous about going ahead with the installation, but I am so glad that I did it in the end. It was very useful visiting the showroom to see the choice of units, prior to making my decision. I chose the Toshiba designer units in the end, and am pleased I made that choice, even though the cost was a bit more.

It's been a year since I installed my AC through Urban Cooling and the process of installation, customer care and payment were nothing but excellent and outstanding. The only reason I did not provide a 5-star is because the low water pressure caused by the AC which resulted in the unit shut down is still not resolved yet. And I'm confident that it will be resolved soon by the excellent staff in the operation and maintenance division.

I bought this for my daughter who lives in a listed building in London. The sales process and initial quote process is very good and slick. We had some issues with installation which I wasn’t happy with - this was also complicated as we were doing a total renovation and had to liaise with builders and kitchen fitters too. One of the Directors phoned me twice to resolve issues and we came to a satisfactory solution. The product is fantastic and looks great. My suggestion is that when planning, be clear on both sides on dates and expectations. My daughter is delighted with the product and so although we had some frustrations with the installation I would highly recommend this company. I do a lot of house renovations and rarely do you have senior directors ring to make sure they try to resolve things. They went really high up in my estimation for the way they handled things for me. For the product alone I would give 5 stars it is really nice.

5 stars for the cool air system as finally installed; it works very well, it is very good value for money, and the first annual service was done by a highly competent and thorough person. But the original installation wasn't well managed, so I can't honestly give 5 stars yet - the memory is still too fresh. There were a series of problems entirely caused by installation mistakes, and it took several visits over a month or so to get it right. I wish the installers had all been as good as the engineer who carried out the annual service.

We appreciate your positive feedback regarding the air conditioning system's performance, value for money, and the competence of the engineer who conducted your first annual service. We want to apologise for the issues you encountered during the original installation. We understand that these installation mistakes caused inconvenience and required multiple visits to resolve, which isn't reflective of the level of service we aim to provide. We take your feedback seriously and will address these concerns with our installation team to ensure that such issues are prevented in the future. Thank you for choosing Urban Cooling, and please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions or concerns.

team was very professional, clean and tidy work, it was not the cheapest (on the pricey side) but got a good job done.

Good service with an innovative solution, however still needs some refinement in installation and day to day practice. Rising energy and water costs make it an expensive but ultimately necessary addition.

Thank you for sharing your review of the service. It's great to hear that you found the solution innovative and the service good. I would be extremely grateful if you could contact our office and elaborate on your point in the review where you stated, "However still needs some refinement in installation and day-to-day practice" We are always looking to refine our installation and processes, and your comments would be warmly welcomed. With regards to rising energy costs, I agree. Hopefully wholesale energy prices can come back down soon to elevate household expenses and budgets.

We installed 2 units. Installation was smooth and quick. We had a leak from the condenser which they fixed promptly and efficiently and saved. This was a lifesaver in a very hot summer last year!

We've had great engagement from the Urban Cooling team and they are always there to answer my questions. My only feedback is that when running their annual inspection, the team damaged my hallway walls with their equipment. My ask is that the team is more careful when bringing their things into the home.

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear about your hallway wall. If you would like our decorators to come and make good at our cost, please ring the office and they can get this sorted out for you. Sorry for any inconvenience. I will have a discussion with the maintenance team. Regards Tony Ellerker

I have been very happy with the Panasonic air conditioning system that was installed by Urban Cooling. The flat is in a new build and can get very hot during the summer months, but the new system (one unit in the bedroom and another in the kitchen/lounge) helps to maintain a comfortable temperature. The system has helpful settings like fast cooling and a quiet mode for the night. It's also possible to start the cooling remotely, via a mobile app, when on the way home. The reason I didn't go for the full 5 stars is that there was damage to my floor caused by the installation team. Although this was disappointing, I was pleased to have been able to agree on a compensation, which I received without delay.

Our new build flat, like many, gets uncomfortably hot inside for at least six months of the year and opening the windows just doesn't cool it down. Urban Cooling were able to give us air-conditioning using internal only systems - one of the only air conditioning providers in the UK able to do so. It's quite expensive compared to air conditioning with external units, but for us it's definitely been worth it as our flat is now a comfortable temperature throughout the year.

The installation was done quickly and the unit are working well. Little issues we have had: 1. One of our walls was damaged. They eventually fixed it. 2. The pipes coming off the cupboard unit were poorly installed - making our cupboard very impractical - it is now hard to use it as storage. 3. The WiFi connection of one of our units doesn't work.

Hi Charlotte, Thank you for the review, it is a shame we could not get 5 stars, we will review your feedback so we can provide a better service in the future. Can I just run through your points; 1. One of our walls was damaged. They eventually fixed it. - During installations, sometimes however careful a small bit of damage can happen, we are always careful and never mean to cause damage. We took responsibility for the minor damage immediately and requested that our professional subcontractor decorator come out to repair this free of charge. Unfortunately with any good professionals if they are good sometimes they get busy and we have to wait until they are free - I apologise for any inconvenience. 2. The pipes coming off the cupboard unit were poorly installed - making our cupboard very impractical - it is now hard to use it as storage. - I have just spoken to the office about this and we have not been made aware of any issue. If you had mentioned it we would have returned without any fuss to rectify the issue, I will get the office to call you now. 3. The WiFi connection of one of our units doesn't work. - We are aware of an issue of the wi-fi adaptor not connecting to your wi-fi back in September last year, after we sent out an engineer to take a look we have not heard anything back, so we assumed it was all rectified. If there is an issue we can come and take a look, sometimes it's a simple case of powering down the adaptor and turning it back on. I will get the office to contact you today, Regards Tony Ellerker Managing Director

Urban Cooling installed AC in our docklands flat in 2021, overall the service was good and the unit works as expected. There were a couple of things that required the engineers to return and put right, but service particularly from Lisa in the office was always prompt and efficent. The compressor was initially noisier than I had expected but UC provided some sound dampening foam and one we got the compressor boxed in with MDF in the airing cupboard all was good.

Really great company with very professional engineers. The air conditioning works perfectly and is extremely quiet. Only aspect to be aware of is running costs, which is quite expensive with regards to water costs.

Hi Tom, Thank you for your review. Please give me a call in the office, it is likely that your property has a very high mains water pressure and the AC system needs a pressure reducing valve to lower the pressure, this will also lower the amount of water going through the unit. Regards Tony Ellerker MD Urban Cooling

System works great and installation was well organised and went well. We did have an issue on day one, which is only reason not five stars, which meant we had to call but they quickly came out the next day and it's working perfectly ever since! And it was just awesome during the summer!
