The outdoor unit position is the biggest single decision: we balance airflow, noise, the pipe run and access for future servicing.
Around Black Notley, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We plan the trip to Black Notley around you.
- 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.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:

- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- Draughts and missing insulation

Common questions in Black Notley
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Black Notley?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 16 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Black Notley. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Braintree council, typically the authority for Black Notley.
Will you come out to Black Notley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Why deal with it now?
Planning ahead beats a rushed decision in a heatwave. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, and that is hard to put right later. Booking the survey early gives you time to weigh up the options. Booking before summer means the work in Black Notley is done before the hot weather.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- F-Gas company certification
- A fixed price before any work starts
- NICEIC approved for electrical work
- One number for homes and businesses across London and the South East

Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
