Most people typing this search want two things: an installer who genuinely works in their area, and a straight answer on what the job involves. We are based in Hemel Hempstead, and installation is the core of the business, with work carried out across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and London. That takes in St Albans, Watford, Berkhamsted, Harpenden, Tring, Rickmansworth, Amersham, Chesham, Luton, Aylesbury and Milton Keynes.

Nothing is priced over the phone. Every job starts with a free site survey: which rooms you want cooled, where the indoor units can sit, where the outdoor unit can go without causing a nuisance, and how the pipework and condensate will run to drain. You then receive a written quotation, and the figure on it is the figure you pay.

In houses, the work is usually a wall-mounted split or multi-split system for a bedroom, loft conversion or home office. On commercial sites it ranges from ceiling cassettes in a shop or restaurant to ducted and VRF systems serving a whole office building. Whatever the setting, the refrigerant work is carried out to F-Gas regulations by Refcom certified engineers with full public liability insurance.

Aftercare is part of the offer rather than an afterthought. Maintenance contracts cover planned visits, F-Gas leak checks and a plain English report after each visit, and contract customers receive priority response plus access to the out of hours line. Standard working hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do I get a price before any work starts?

Yes. Every installation begins with a free site survey, and you then receive a written quotation covering equipment, installation and commissioning. There are no hidden costs, so the figure on the quote is the figure you pay.

Can you install in a normal house, or is it just for businesses?

Both. Domestic work is usually wall-mounted split or multi-split systems for bedrooms, loft conversions and home offices. Commercial work covers shops, restaurants, offices and larger buildings with cassette, ducted and VRF systems.

How long does an installation take?

A single-room split system is usually completed in a day. Multi-split, ducted, VRF and larger commercial projects typically take between two and seven days depending on scope.

Where do you install?

We are based in Hemel Hempstead and install across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and London, including St Albans, Watford, Berkhamsted, Harpenden, Tring, Rickmansworth, Amersham, Chesham, Luton, Aylesbury and Milton Keynes.

Will the system heat as well as cool?

Yes. Every system we install is a heat pump, so it heats the room in winter as well as cooling it in summer.

What happens after the installation?

The system is fully commissioned and handed over, and you can add a maintenance contract covering planned visits, F-Gas leak checks and a written report after each visit. Contract customers get priority response and access to the out of hours line.
