Air conditioning in Belsize

Your questions about air conditioning in Belsize
Do you cover smaller places like Belsize?

Do you cover Belsize for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Belsize is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
In most cases, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Visits to Belsize are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Common problems we fix in Belsize
Some people come to us for heating rather than cooling. Old direct electric heaters turn electricity straight into heat, while a heat pump moves heat in from the outside air, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. Most modern split systems work this way.
Look out for any of the following:
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- A loft conversion that is too warm to use
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Paul, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved

When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning won’t do:
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Belsize House, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 21 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Belsize’s centre.

Detached and semi-detached houses normally have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Chenies Manor House, about 2 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
