Air con installers in Borehamwood
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, two rooms on a multi-split £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation are all included, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: the survey covers room size, glazing, insulation and how the room is used, so the unit is not too big or too small.
Around Borehamwood, older homes and newer ones sit side by side, and the walls decide a lot about the install. Older solid walls need more drilling than modern cavity walls, while a loft space can hide pipe runs that would otherwise be on the outside.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Common problems we fix in Borehamwood
Commercial spaces gain heat from people, equipment, lighting and glazing. Keeping staff and customers comfortable is usually what prompts the call, and some rooms need cooling for the equipment as much as the people.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- An old system that needs replacing
- A business premises that overheats in summer
If you work from home near Elstree & Borehamwood station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.

Your questions about air conditioning in Borehamwood
Will air conditioning in Borehamwood need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Borehamwood. 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 local planning authority (for Borehamwood, typically Hertsmere council).
Do you cover Borehamwood for air conditioning?
We do: Borehamwood falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
How long will the installation take?
Allow anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We confirm the time when we quote so there are no surprises.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. 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.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
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.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
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.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Why deal with it now?
If you’re thinking about air conditioning for a property in Borehamwood, there’s no need to wait for a heatwave. Installation takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems, and the date is agreed with you once you are happy with the quote. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job in Borehamwood.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
From one of our customers
“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.”
