About air conditioning in SG1
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain, all before the price is fixed. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about uncertainty over the right type and size of system and a business premises that overheats in summer.
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
What affects the price in SG1

Air conditioning around SG1
Planning rules are the same across England, SG1 included: an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools can be permitted development on a house, but cooling-only units, listed buildings and outdoor units facing a road in conservation areas need more care.
From London flats to coastal homes and country cottages, London and the South East have every kind of property. We’re F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps.
Stevenage: Older streets near St Hugh & St John may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. About 2.5 miles south-east stands Aston Bury. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.
Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Never run the system with the filters out
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
Questions after the installation go to the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display, and we will talk it through with you.
Book an annual service. A service cleans what you can’t reach and picks up faults before they stop the system and keeps the warranty paperwork right where servicing is a condition.
Rented and managed buildings
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit positions
The outdoor unit can go on a wall bracket, on the ground or on a flat roof, whatever suits the building and the route. It needs airflow around it and room for servicing.
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork, and access for servicing. We check that on the survey before recommending one.
What affects the quote in SG1
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Before you get in touch
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The make and model of the system, from the label

FAQs for SG1
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and a position facing a road can bring extra planning considerations. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
How do you size the system?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Do you work in SG1?
Yes. We work in SG1 and the rest of Hertfordshire, within the London and South East area we cover. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
In many cases, but permissions come first. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls, so check the lease. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.
