FAQs for Thundridge
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Thundridge?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Thundridge Wadesmill Conservation Area is close to the centre of Thundridge. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with East Hertfordshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Thundridge.
Can you do air conditioning in Thundridge?
Yes, Thundridge is within the area we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Book an annual service
- File the paperwork with the manual
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. Once it’s running properly, we take you through the controls and settings, so you are confident using it.
Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Thundridge
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. Most modern split systems work this way.
These are the situations we see most often:
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
Older streets near Parish Church of St Mary may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
Comparing quotes
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- If the figure could change on the day
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Somewhere like Thundridge, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- 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.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- 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
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
