Common questions in Markyate
Do you cover Markyate for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Markyate is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Markyate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Usually, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Typically, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
It can do. The rules differ for heat pumps and cooling-only air conditioning, and for houses, flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We flag anything that may need permission when we survey and the council makes the decision. This is general information, not legal advice.
Air con installers in Markyate
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Just phone 07833 053749 with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and you will hear back from us the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. When someone in Markyate asks us for air con, the first questions are typically price and who will fit it. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
Sizing is where cheap installs go wrong: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
Homes around Markyate are mostly houses, many with gardens, so there’s normally space for the outdoor unit. The wall type and how the electrics reach the unit are often the main things to check.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What we’re called out for in Markyate
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sunshine through glazing, especially on south and west-facing rooms, adds a lot of heat, and the heat lingers long after the sun has moved round.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
Living close to Markyate Methodist Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
What the work involves, system by system
Electrical supply
Most systems need their own circuit from the consumer unit. We are NICEIC approved, so we fit and certify the circuit ourselves, which takes care of the Part P notification.
Wall-mounted split systems
A wall-mounted split is the most common choice for a single room. The indoor unit sits high on a wall, the outdoor unit goes outside, and the two are joined by insulated pipework, a cable and a condensate drain, with the route agreed on the survey.
Why deal with it now?
For homeowners, timing can matter for VAT: installing energy-saving materials in residential accommodation is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts and we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. For a place like Markyate, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Because we plan from pictures or a survey, a job in Markyate can normally be finished in one visit.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Before we arrive
