About our air conditioning in Monkhams
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see, and we explain the options on the survey. For air conditioning in Monkhams, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Greater London.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so there’s no separate electrician or building control visit to arrange.
In Monkhams, as across London, the rooms that get hottest are usually under the roof or behind large sunny windows. A single wall-mounted unit in the worst room is often where people start, and a multi-split can cover more rooms from one outdoor unit where space outside is short.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What else we do in Monkhams
Air conditioning in Monkhams: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 31% of homes in the Monkhams area date from 1919 to 1939. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
If your home is in one of the older streets near All Saints' Church, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. Valentines Mansion (roughly 3.6 miles south-east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
Monkhams is about 1 mile north of Woodford, in Greater London.

In Greater London alone we list 764 places, and Monkhams is one. London is in our area too, about 10 miles from Monkhams.
The closest recent job we can point to from Monkhams was on Greenwich High Road, Greenwich (SE10), about 10 miles south: installing a Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted unit in the retail area and a second unit in the stockroom and office. More about it

Monkhams questions
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Monkhams?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Do you cover Monkhams for air conditioning?
Yes, Monkhams is within the area we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
It takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
It depends on the rooms and the building. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Rented and managed buildings
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Before a visit in Monkhams, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
