How we handle air conditioning in Broad Colney
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Just phone 07833 053749 or send an email with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and we will reply the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. If you want air conditioning in Broad Colney, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.
The electrics are part of the job: a dedicated circuit where the unit needs one, certified under NICEIC, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Homes around Broad Colney normally have room outside for an outdoor unit. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
If anything isn’t right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display and we’ll help you sort it out.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans what you cannot reach and picks up faults before they stop the system, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.

Broad Colney: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Broad Colney?
Yes. Broad Colney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is air conditioning in Broad Colney permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Broad Colney. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with St Albans City council, which is normally the planning authority for Broad Colney.
How do you size the system?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Visits to Broad Colney are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Draughts and missing insulation
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

“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.”
