Air conditioning in RM11: how it works
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 as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Common call-outs are for rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night and expensive direct electric heating, across VRF systems, multi-split systems and ducted systems.
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. 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 about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed 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.
What affects the price in RM11
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Air conditioning around RM11
Our air conditioning work across RM11 takes in places such as Romford, Hornchurch and Harold Wood and the smaller places around them. Every place on our RM11 list (9 in all) is covered.
RM11 is within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed-price quote.
Heath Park: Plenty of people near Gidea Park station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Hare Hall (roughly 0.8 miles north-east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
What we’re called out for in RM11
Most overheating comes from heat gained through the day. Sunshine through glazing, especially on south and west-facing rooms, adds a lot of heat, and the heat lingers long after the sun has moved round.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
- A system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
Different systems, different jobs
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette sits flush in a suspended ceiling and spreads air in several directions, which suits offices, shops and open-plan spaces.
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork plus an access hatch for maintenance. We check that on the survey before recommending one.
Leave it or put it right?
For homeowners, timing can matter for VAT: HMRC zero-rates the installation of energy-saving materials in homes until 31 March 2027, after which the rate becomes 5%. HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts and we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
How we price air conditioning
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- The condition of any existing system
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
What we need to know
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Questions from RM11
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
There’s no single best type. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Which brands do you work with?
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.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Most of the time, yes: modern splits are normally heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust points out that an air-to-air heat pump is often just called air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
