Air Conditioning Installation in Chislehurst
1960s Bungalow | Samsung Multi Split System
Overview
Bromley Energy completed a full air conditioning installation in a 1960s bungalow in Chislehurst, delivering independent climate control to three key areas of the home.
A Samsung multi split system was installed to serve three internal wall-mounted units from a single outdoor condenser, providing efficient cooling and heating throughout the property.
The objective was to introduce modern comfort without compromising the character or appearance of the bungalow.
The Problem
Like many 1960s properties, the bungalow experienced significant temperature fluctuation.
Large glazing areas and inconsistent insulation levels resulted in:
• Overheating during warmer months
• Uncomfortable bedroom temperatures at night
• Limited temperature control across different areas of the home
The homeowners wanted:
• Cooling in summer
• Supplemental heating during spring and autumn
• Independent room-by-room control
• Minimal external visual impact
Installing three separate systems would have meant multiple outdoor units, which was not suitable for the property layout or aesthetics.
The Solution
We designed and installed a Samsung multi split system capable of serving three internal wall-mounted units from one external condenser.
This configuration delivered:
- Independent zoning and temperature control
- Reduced external clutter
- High seasonal efficiency
- Quiet operation suitable for living areas and bedrooms
- Heating and cooling from a single system
The multi split approach allowed us to modernise comfort while maintaining a clean exterior finish.
Technical Design
System Type: Multi split
Manufacturer: Samsung Climate Solutions
Configuration: Single outdoor condenser serving three wall-mounted indoor units
Location: Chislehurst
Property Type: 1960s bungalow
Design considerations included:
- Individual heat load assessment per room
- Correct indoor unit sizing to avoid oversizing and cycling
- Balanced refrigerant pipe runs to maintain performance
- Outdoor unit positioning to minimise sound transmission
- Electrical capacity verification and dedicated supply
Each indoor unit was selected based on room-specific requirements to ensure:
- Stable operation
- Effective humidity control
- Reduced energy waste
- Long-term system reliability
This is engineered system design, not a one-size-fits-all installation.
Installation
Indoor Units:
- Positioned for optimal airflow distribution
- Levelled and securely fixed
- Pipework routed neatly and discreetly
- Wall penetrations cleanly sealed
Outdoor Unit:
Single condenser reducing external impact
- Mounted with anti-vibration supports
- Refrigerant lines pressure tested and vacuumed
- Fully commissioned in line with manufacturer standards
Each zone was individually tested for both heating and cooling performance prior to handover.
The Result
The homeowners now benefit from:
- Independent climate control across three areas
- Comfortable sleeping temperatures during summer
- Efficient supplemental heating in transitional seasons
- Quiet, unobtrusive operation
- A discreet external installation
The bungalow now has modern, zoned climate control integrated into a 1960s structure without compromising its appearance.
This project demonstrates how correct system design and careful installation elevate air conditioning from a convenience to a properly engineered comfort solution.
