Signs you need air conditioning in Steward's Green
Some people come to us for heating rather than cooling. Old direct electric heaters turn electricity straight into heat, while a heat pump moves heat in from the outside air, which means more heat out than electricity in. That is how most modern split systems work.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
Homes near Church of St John the Baptist are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

Questions from Steward's Green
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Steward's Green?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Steward's Green holds about 9 listed buildings and structures. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Epping Forest council, normally the authority for Steward's Green.
Do you cover Steward's Green for air conditioning?
Yes. Steward's Green is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
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. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
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.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Normally, 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.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Steward's Green.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
The handover includes the records you need: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. File them together as they’re needed for servicing and any warranty question.
Do not ignore small changes. A drip, a noise or a flashing light is often an early sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair small.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Steward's Green
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
