Homes in Berners Roding and air conditioning
About 87% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it. Dukes Farmhouse, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 11 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Berners Roding’s centre. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with Epping Forest council, typically the planning authority here where needed.
Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed.

Rented and managed buildings
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Berners Roding can be planned properly.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Questions from Berners Roding
Do you cover smaller places like Berners Roding?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you cover Berners Roding for air conditioning?
We do: Berners Roding falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
How long will the installation take?
Allow a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. The survey tells us how long your installation will need, so you can plan around it.
How do I know what size unit to get?
Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Which type of system should I choose?
It depends on the rooms and the building. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and small commercial rooms. The unit goes where it spreads the air well and the filters are easy to reach, and away from where the air would blow straight onto people.
Multi-split systems
Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The route from the outdoor unit to each room is the main variable.
What we are called out for in Berners Roding
Many people try a portable unit first. Portables push their warm air out through a hose in the window, so the window cannot close properly and the noisy part of the unit is in the room. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- An old system that needs replacing
- Too many options and no clear advice
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
