Air conditioning across SG6: what to expect
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be, and we explain the options on the survey. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are a business premises that overheats in summer and a loft conversion that’s too warm to use.
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Pricing in SG6

Air conditioning across SG6: local notes
From Letchworth, Letchworth Garden City and Baldock outwards, SG6 has every kind of home. Each install starts with a survey of the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
Enquiries from SG6 get a reply on the working day they arrive. For a breakdown, use the 24/7 line.
Letchworth: Older streets near Church of St Paul may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Hinxworth Place, about 4.5 miles north, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.
Common problems we fix in SG6
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during 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.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- An old system that needs replacing
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in SG6
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- How easy the units are to reach
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The address and the type of property
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
What owners can safely do
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Common questions in SG6
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
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.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. 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 set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
