Why deal with it now?
A system that is the wrong size never works well. Too small, and it runs flat out without catching up; an oversized one cycles on and off and wastes energy. Sizing each room properly on the survey avoids both. In London, hot spells can bring a rush of calls, so planning the work in New Southgate before summer avoids the wait.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

Air conditioning installation in New Southgate
We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be, and we explain the options on the survey. Most enquiries from New Southgate start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. That’s usually a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
A single room takes a day in most homes, with multi-room systems taking longer depending on pipe routes, and we leave the room clean and the controls explained.
In New Southgate, as across London, the rooms that get hottest are usually under the roof or behind large sunny windows. Many people start with one wall-mounted unit in the room that suffers most, and a multi-split can cover more rooms from one outdoor unit where space outside is short.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Do you need air conditioning in New Southgate?
Computers, screens, lighting and people all give off heat. A small office or a busy room can warm up fast with equipment and people in it, even when it isn’t especially hot outside.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
Plenty of people near New Southgate station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.

FAQs for New Southgate
Is air conditioning in New Southgate permitted development?
It depends on the property. The centre of New Southgate is in a conservation area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for New Southgate, usually Enfield council).
Can you do air conditioning in New Southgate?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and New Southgate is part of that. To start, call 07833 053749 or send an email with a few pictures.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Yes, most modern split systems run as 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. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.

Air conditioning in New Southgate: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 49% of households live in flats. For a flat, we look at balconies, flat roofs and rear walls for the outdoor unit, and the lease often needs checking first. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
Older streets near St Paul's Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think.
