About our air conditioning in Northwood
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
The outdoor unit position is the biggest single decision: airflow, noise towards neighbours, pipe length and access for servicing all count.
Outdoor units around Northwood often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Northwood when you book.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Questions from Northwood
Is Northwood in your area for air conditioning?
Yes, Northwood is within the area we cover. Just ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like Northwood?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. 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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Leave it or put it right?
The outdoor unit’s position is worth getting right first time. A good position keeps noise down and leaves room for servicing, and it can make a difference to planning. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day. Booking before summer means the work near Northwood is done before the hot weather.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.

What else we do in Northwood
Air conditioning around Northwood
The coast is only about 2 miles from Northwood. Some manufacturers offer anti-corrosion coated coils for coastal sites, and we will tell you if the model you choose has that option. About 41% of homes in Northwood and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 65% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Houses typically have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Quex Park, about 3.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. If your home is in one of the older streets near St Mark's Church, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

Owner checks or an 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 give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
