Air conditioning in SG12: how it works
Air conditioning isn’t only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. The work covers ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night and a business premises that overheats in summer.
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system, and we tidy up before we leave.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- 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 needed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.

Air conditioning across SG12
Our air conditioning work across SG12 takes in places such as Hoddesdon, Ware and Bengeo and the smaller places around them. Every place on our SG12 list (23 in all) is covered.
Enquiries from SG12 get a reply on the working day they arrive. For a breakdown, use the 24/7 line.
Ware: Plenty of people near Ware station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Older streets near Christ Church Ware may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Draughts and missing insulation
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
What we’re called out for in SG12
Not everyone is after cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. That is how most modern split systems work.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
- Fans and portables that don’t keep up
What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. We look at walls, roofs, balconies and yards on the survey and we flag any consent you may need.
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so any extra electrical work is on the quote rather than a surprise on the day. An older board may need extra work, and we explain why if so.
Questions from SG12
Where does the outdoor unit go?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Will I need planning permission?
Not always. Permitted development can cover a heat pump on a house, including an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools since 2025, provided the conditions are met. Permission is more likely to come up for cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing positions in conservation areas and the survey picks it up. This is general information, not legal advice.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
