Why Barnet residents install air conditioning systems?

Barnet has a high population of professional commuters now working from home, thus cooling a garden office or a top floor study has become a productivity necessity rather than just a luxury.

Additionally, living near major green parks like Fryent Country Park or Arrandene Open Space is a dream for the views, but a total nightmare for the sinuses once the tree pollen peaks in spring. Unlike Fans, Air conditioning units, prevent the high velocity influx of allergens. Most modern units have high grade filters that trap particles and filter the air in a room.

The True Advantages of Air Conditioners in Barnet 

• Temperature Control throughout the course of the year: As Barnet has a high density of loft converted semi-detached houses especially in Whetstone and Finchley, air conditioning is the only effective way to make the loft “heat traps” useable all year-round.
• Cleaner air from pollen: Being one of the leafiest boroughs, Barnet residents are literally surrounded by the so called “Green Belt”. High pollen counts in spring and summer make opening the windows a real nightmare for hay fever sufferers. Air conditioning units filter the air with advanced filtration system that traps the dust and pollen, allowing you to breathe clean air, without opening the windows.
  
• Quiet Comfort: Barnet is known about the tranquillity its suburban location. In areas like Totteridge or Monken Hadley the background noise is minimal. Gladly, modern air conditioning units, can operate with the minimum possible noise and they don’t pollute the air with noise, ensuring your home remains peaceful and climate adjusted to your preference.
• Less humidity and mould: Air conditioning units don’t just cools or heat your home, they work as dehumidifiers as well. Removing that “heavy” feeling that makes afternoon Zoom calls feel draining. It creates a controlled, office like environment in a residential setting is perfect for Barnet’s “home office” culture.
  
• Energy Efficient Heating: As many of the Barnet’s properties are older, grander properties are expensive to heat with traditional gas boilers and radiators. Contemporary systems are a lot easier to operate than previously and also run in silence, and are surprisingly energy-efficient. Most air conditioning units are Air to air heat pumps. You can use the AC to heat just one room, the one you are in (e.g., the lounge or office) rather than firing up the entire central heating system throughout the year. This is often 3-4 times more efficient than gas, potentially lowering your energy bills.
  
• Boosting property value: As the developers steadily started to modernise the borough, especially around Brent Cross Town and Victoria Quarters, “Climate Control” is becoming a standard expectation for premium buyers. A properly installed and high quality air conditioning system increases the interest of Barnet’s property to potential tenants or buyers. 

Overall, having a well-installed air conditioner unit at your home or at work does more than just keep you cool throughout the summer.

FAQ’s

How does air conditioning work?

Air conditioning units work by removing unwanted heat in a property and replacing it with cooler, dry air. With heating, it works in the opposite way by providing fanned heat inside your property. 

Can my air conditioning unit be used to heat my house?

Absolutely.  New air conditioning units can reverse the refrigeration cycle, turning it into a heat pump. The units that we supply will have the ability to do both heat and cool. 

Do I need planning permission from Barnet Council?

It is very unlikely that you would need to apply for planning permission to have an air conditioning unit installed in your property. However, you will probably need planning permission if your property is a Listed Building (which requires Listed Building Consent), or you live in one of Barnet’s 15+ Conservation Areas (e.g., Hampstead Garden Suburb, Monken Hadley, Wood Street, Chipping Barnet) and the unit is visible from the street. Additionally, if you live in a flat or apartment block (where external alterations affect the communal fabric) you may need a permission as well. Generally, before any installation we highly recommend you check with your local council or freeholder to be sure before we carry out an installation. 

Do I need to do anything before the installer arrives?

We kindly ask that you clear all areas where the installation will take place. This is inclusive of the area surrounding the wall where the interior unit will be fitted and also on the exterior where the external unit will be installed. This will allow the engineer to begin the work from the point of arrival, keeping the installation swift and efficient. 

How much does it cost to install air conditioning in Barnet? 

Prices generally vary based on the complexity of the property such as routing pipework through period brickwork. Our comprehensive installation services with aftercare starting from £1300 with 0% VAT.

How long does installation take?  

Installations for domestic units will usually be carried out in a single day. Larger units may require longer. Our engineers will always advise you on the length of the installation before the work commences.  

Are air conditioning units noisy? 

Modern units typically function with hardly any noise pollution and will go unnoticed.  

Will an air conditioner affect my energy bills? 

Heat-pump technology and smart controls for air conditioning systems allow you to heat or cool only the spaces you need to, helping to manage energy costs.  

Can I remotely control my air conditioning? 

A lot of modern systems now come with Wi-Fi or smart controls, allowing you to adjust the temperature from your phone or tablet, even when you’re not at home. 

How long will my air conditioning unit last? 

Your system can last up to 10-15 years with proper installation and maintenance. All our units come with a warranty.  

Can air conditioning help with mould and dampness?
