Clivet Air Conditioning London
Clivet air conditioning
repair, service and installation
Clivet is an Italian manufacturer, part of the Midea group since 2016 and best known in the UK for commercial air conditioning and heat pumps. Fewer installers have worked on it, which is usually why people search for somebody who has.

We repair, service and install Clivet air conditioning across London, as we do every other make. A diagnostic visit is 89 pounds plus VAT and it is waived if we carry out the repair. A new single-room system costs 2,400 to 3,200 pounds fitted, the same range as any brand we fit.
Send the model number from the rating label and any error code before the visit, and we will tell you whether it is likely to be fixed on the day.

The Clivet systems we work on
| Range | What it is for | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Wall-mounted split and multi-split | Homes and small offices | Serviced and repaired like any other make |
| Ceiling cassette and ducted units | Offices, shops and open-plan rooms | Needs access to the ceiling void for most repairs |
| VRF systems | Larger buildings with many indoor units on one system | Fault finding uses the system's own diagnostics; we survey before quoting |
| Packaged and rooftop units | Commercial premises | Access and lifting decide the cost more than the fault does |
| Air-to-water heat pumps | Radiators and hot water | Covered on the heat pump page, not here |
Who makes Clivet
Clivet was founded in 1989 in Feltre, in the north-east of Italy, and started out making chillers and heat pumps. Since 2016 it has been part of the Midea group, which describes it as its high-end commercial air conditioning brand. In the UK it is sold and supported through Clivet Group UK.
That history explains what people notice: Clivet equipment turns up more often in commercial buildings than in homes, and fewer domestic installers have had one apart.
Repairing a Clivet system
The faults are the same as on any make: a refrigerant leak and a low charge, a blocked condensate drain, a failed fan motor or capacitor, a sensor or a control board. What differs is reading the unit's own fault codes and having the right service information for that model before it is opened.
So the model number and the error code are the most useful things you can send. With them we can usually say before the visit what it is likely to be, and whether the part is one we would expect to source quickly.
If a system is old, uses the R22 refrigerant that can no longer be topped up, or would cost more to repair than a sensible share of a new one, we will say so. The repair page sets out what we fix and what each fault usually costs.
Servicing, and why it matters more on commercial plant
An annual service covers a filter and coil clean, the condensate check, refrigerant pressures, electrical tests and a written report, on any make. It is 95 pounds plus VAT for a domestic system.
On commercial Clivet equipment the case for it is stronger, because one unit often serves a whole floor or a shop, and a breakdown in July costs trading time. For more than one unit, a maintenance contract is usually the cheaper way to do it.
What it costs, and why the brand is not the reason
This is the same table as everywhere else on this site, and that is deliberate. Across the brands we fit, the indoor unit is a minority of an installed price. The rest is the pipe run, the core drilling, the electrical work, the outdoor position and the commissioning, and none of that changes because of the badge on the front.
| Job | System | Installed price |
|---|---|---|
| One bedroom | 2.5kW single split | £2,400 to £3,200 |
| One double bedroom | 3.5kW single split | £2,550 to £3,500 |
| One living room | 5kW single split | £2,750 to £3,850 |
| Two rooms | 2 unit multi-split | £4,300 to £5,800 |
| Three rooms | 3 unit multi-split | £6,400 to £8,600 |
| Ceiling cassette, per room | Add to the above | +£500 to £900 |
| Annual service | Any make | £95 plus VAT |

The other brands we fit
We are not tied to any manufacturer, which is the reason the comparisons on these pages are written the way they are. We would rather put the right unit in the room than the one with the best margin. The two makes people ask about most are compared side by side on Daikin vs Mitsubishi Electric.
Daikin
The Perfera and the Stylish both run down to 19 dB(A) on their lowest fan speed, which is quieter than rustling leaves.
DaikinMitsubishi Electric
The MSZ-LN runs at 19 dB(A) on its lowest fan speed and is the most refined wall unit the brand makes.
Mitsubishi ElectricSamsung
The Wind-Free range cools through 23,000 micro-holes instead of a fan blowing at the room, which is the reason to choose it.
SamsungEverything we install
Also LG, Panasonic, Toshiba, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Midea, chosen by the room rather than by brand loyalty.
InstallationClivet air conditioning: common questions
Do you repair Clivet air conditioning?
Yes, as we do every make. The diagnostic visit is 89 pounds plus VAT and it comes off the bill if we carry out the repair. Sending the model number and the error code first makes the visit shorter and the answer quicker.
Is Clivet a good brand?
It is a serious manufacturer: Italian, making chillers and heat pumps since 1989, and part of the Midea group, the largest air conditioning manufacturer in the world, since 2016. Its strength is commercial equipment.
For a home, the installation matters more than the badge, as it does with every brand we fit.
Can you service a Clivet heat pump?
If it is an air-to-air system, the kind that heats and cools rooms, yes, it is serviced like any air conditioner.
If it is an air-to-water heat pump running radiators and hot water, see the heat pump page.
Free survey for a Clivet system
We measure the room, work out the output it actually needs, and give you a fixed written price with the range and model on it. If a cheaper range does the same job, we will say so.
