About air conditioning in EN11

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. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night and working from home in a room that gets too warm.

Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.

  1. Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
  2. Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
  3. The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
  4. Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
  5. The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.

Hoddesdon: Living close to Church of St Catherine & St Paul? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. If you commute from Broxbourne station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed.

System by system

Ducted systems

Ducted air conditioning hides the indoor unit in a ceiling void or loft, with only neat grilles showing in the room. It suits rooms where a visible unit wouldn’t work.

Outdoor unit positions

We think about noise when we choose the spot: away from bedroom windows and neighbours’ windows where possible and fitted so vibration does not carry into the building. Position can also affect planning.

What we’re called out for in EN11

Some people come to us for heating rather than cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, which means more heat out than electricity in. Most modern split systems work this way.

Look out for these signs:

  • Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
  • A portable unit with a hose out of the window
  • A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
  • A business premises that overheats in summer

Honest limits

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
  • Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
  • A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation

Keeping the system healthy

Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
  • Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
  • Do not cover or box in the outdoor unit
  • Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes

If anything isn’t right after we’ve gone, call us on the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display and we will help you sort it out.

Report drips, noises or error codes early. A drip, a noise or a flashing light is often an early sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair small.

EN11 questions

Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?

The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.

Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?

In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.

Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?

Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.

How do I know what size unit to get?

Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.

How much does air conditioning installation cost?

A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. You get a fixed price before any work starts.

Can landlords and managing agents book you?

Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
