What air conditioning won’t do

Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:

  • A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
  • Draughts and missing insulation
  • Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)

Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

What an install looks like in Deacon's Hill

About 13 miles out from central London, Deacon's Hill is part of the South East area we work across.

Headstone Manor (roughly 4.7 miles south-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on. Close to Elstree & Borehamwood station? A small study or box room used for work can usually be cooled with a single indoor unit.

Deacon's Hill is about 1 mile south of Borehamwood, in Hertfordshire. Whatever kind of property you have in Deacon's Hill, our engineers can help with air conditioning. We reply to enquiries the same working day and our emergency line runs 24/7. Deacon's Hill is one of 381 places in Hertfordshire where we work for homes and businesses. We also work in London, around 13 miles away.

Deacon's Hill: your questions answered

Do you cover Deacon's Hill for air conditioning?

We do: Deacon's Hill falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.

Can I fit air conditioning in Deacon's Hill without planning permission?

There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Deacon's Hill. 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 Hertsmere council, which is usually the planning authority for Deacon's Hill.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.

Can air conditioning heat my home as well?

In most cases, yes: modern splits are typically heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.

Can I do any of the installation myself?

Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.

Do you work on systems someone else installed?

Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.

How much does air conditioning installation cost?

For one room, a 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. The price is fixed before work begins.

What happens on the day

Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Deacon's Hill.

  1. You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
  2. Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
  3. Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
  4. Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
  5. It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear a path to the units and the space around them
  • Clear access to the fuse board
  • Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Why act early in Deacon's Hill

Refrigerant rules have changed what new systems use. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg can’t use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Deacon's Hill.

Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

After we’ve gone

Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:

  • Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
  • Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
  • Never run the system with the filters out

Questions after the installation go to the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display and we’ll help you sort it out.

Report drips, noises or error codes early. A drip, a noise or a flashing light is often an early sign of a fault, and early repairs are typically simpler.

A customer’s words

“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.”
