About air conditioning in N1P

We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. The work covers multi-split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a portable unit with a hose out of the window and a study or office that overheats during the day.

The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
  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.

How to get a quote

Some jobs can be priced from pictures, 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.

Landmarks near Hoxton

Around Hoxton, our work takes us to homes and businesses near Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives, Shoreditch Park and Stag's Head pub, among other places. Other local landmarks include Shoreditch Park Primary School (less than half a mile north), Hackney University Technical College (under half a mile south-east), Islington Green School (0.6 miles west) and Church of St Anne with St Columba (less than half a mile east). Hoxton has its own railway station: Hoxton station. Other landmarks nearby include St Leonard's Hospital (within half a mile east) and Montfichet's Tower (1.6 miles south-west). The countryside around Hoxton includes St. James's Park Lake and Barnsbury Wood.

Air conditioning across N1P

Across N1P, from Hoxton, Angel and Pentonville to the villages, homes range from older terraces and cottages to new estates and flats. We survey every property before we quote.

Our area stretches from Greater London through Surrey, Kent and Sussex to Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and N1P sits within it. One phone number covers all of it.

Hoxton: Older streets near Church of St Anne with St Columba may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Close to Hoxton station? A small study or box room used for work can typically be cooled with a single indoor unit.

When something else is needed

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
  • Central heating repairs
  • A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation

Keeping the system healthy

Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:

  • Book an annual service
  • Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
  • Keep the room closed while it runs
  • Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code

You get the paperwork that matters: F-Gas records, commissioning details and the manufacturer’s warranty terms. File them together, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us

Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in N1P and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.

Questions from N1P

How do you size the system?

Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy, so we explain why we’ve chosen a particular output.

How quickly will you reply?

The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Do I need planning permission?

It can do. The rules differ for heat pumps and cooling-only air conditioning, and for houses, flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We flag anything that may need permission when we survey, and the council has the final say. This is general information, not legal advice.

Will you make a mess?

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.

Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?

That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.

How does the warranty work?

The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
