Air conditioning in Graveley

Air conditioning in Graveley

Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain before you get a fixed-price quote. If you want air conditioning in Graveley, one call covers the survey, the fixed-price quote, the installation and the F-Gas paperwork, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Homes around Graveley 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.

For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

When something else is needed

Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:

  • Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
  • Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
  • Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council

If you’re not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Wall-mounted split systems
  • Ducted systems

  • Multi-split systems
  • Ceiling cassettes
  • Air-to-air heat pumps

Rented and managed buildings

Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.

How the visit works

Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Visits to Graveley are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
  2. Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
  3. We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
  4. We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
  5. The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear access to the fuse board
  • Clear a path to the units and the space around them
  • Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Advice

Common questions in Graveley

Can I fit air conditioning in Graveley without planning permission?

The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Graveley sits inside the Graveley Conservation Area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at North Hertfordshire council, usually the authority for Graveley when it matters.

Do you cover smaller places like Graveley?

Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.

Can I do the refrigerant work myself?

The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Which accreditations do you hold?

F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.

How does the warranty work?

It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.

Before you call an engineer

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. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.

For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
