System by system
Electrical supply
A dedicated circuit is normally needed. We’re NICEIC approved, so we fit and certify the circuit ourselves and that covers the Part P side.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
For bigger buildings, VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor plant. VRF and larger commercial jobs are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.
Air conditioning installation in Hogpits Bottom
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. A lot of the calls we get from Hogpits Bottom are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. That’s usually a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
Sizing is where cheap installs go wrong: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Hogpits Bottom. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Air conditioning in Hogpits Bottom: the local picture
Census 2021 figures found about 68% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Chenies Manor House, about 2 miles south, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. Living close to Church of St Mary Magdalene (Church of England)? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Work in Hogpits Bottom is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Rented and managed buildings
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
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 electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Hogpits Bottom: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hogpits Bottom?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Flaunden Conservation Area is close to the centre of Hogpits Bottom. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Hogpits Bottom, typically Dacorum council).
Is Hogpits Bottom within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
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.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
