Why Air Conditioning is the right choice in Barking?

Barking is a densely built area. Because of the brick buildings in the area, the heat is “soaked up” during the day and radiates at night. Air conditioning is often the only cooling solution at night when the air and walls remains warm.

Being near the A13 or major rail lines, often opening your windows for “natural ventilation”, brings in traffic noise and particulates. An air conditioning system, allows climate control and significantly improved indoor air quality.


The Benefits of having an Air Conditioning Installed in Barking 

Beyond the fact of staying cool when London heatwaves hit, having and air conditioning installed in Barking and Dagenham, offer multiple hyper local benefits specifically tailored to the borough environment.

Control throughout the course of the year: While rural areas cool down after sunset, Barking temperatures can stay 5°C to 10°C higher than the surrounding countryside. Air conditioning allows you to have the control of your house temperature throughout the year.

Noise Mitigation: The borough is a major transport corridor, with the A13, C2C rail lines and District Line running through it. Usually opening windows for breeze lets in the roar of the traffic and screeching trains. Air conditioning provides a closed window climate control. You get the comfort you need without the noise pollution which makes it easier to work from the comfort of your own house or sleep soundly.

Improves Air Quality and Hay Fever Symptoms: Air Conditioning Units are known for acting as air purifiers filtering the air. Especially in the area of Barking and Dagenham where industrial zones and heavy traffic is around, the air has higher levels of particles and nitrogen dioxide.

Efficient Heating in Winter : In older Becontree style houses with high ceilings or drafty windows, AC units can heat a room much faster than traditional gas radiators. They are often 300% to 400% efficient, meaning for every 1kW of electricity used, you get 3-4kW of heat. It’s a great way to “zone heat” just the room you are using rather than warming the whole house.

Humidity & Damp Control: AC units naturally dehumidify the air. By stripping excess moisture, you prevent that oppressive sweaty mugginess and protect your home from the damp and condensation issues common in older London housing stock.

Property Value & Appeal:  With “Build-to-Rent” and high-end new builds often featuring climate control, adding AC to an existing property makes it significantly more competitive on the market. For landlords, it can be a deciding factor for professional tenants who work from home.

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

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. 

Do I need Planning Permission to install an Air Condition in Barking and Dagenham?

Most domestic installs don’t need planning permission if the external unit is under 0.6 cubic meters and is not on a wall facing a highway. Barking and Dagenham Council generally allows AC units under ‘Permitted Development,’ but we always recommend checking if you live in a conservation area or a listed building near the Abbey.

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. 

What’s the cost to install an air conditioning unit? 

One of the most common questions our customers ask is the air conditioner installation cost. We offer a comprehensive installation service with aftercare starting from £1300. Prices vary depending on size and complexity of the installation.  

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? 

Is the unit going near a neighbour’s bedroom window? We recommend “Silent Mode” inverter model (like Daikin or Mitsubishi Electric). Modern units typically function with hardly any noise pollution and will go unnoticed.  

Will an air conditioner affect my energy bills? 

If you’re looking at the cost-to-benefit ratio, remember that an AC unit is essentially a dual-season investment. In Barking’s mix of industrial and residential zones, the “air filtration” aspect is often just as valuable as the cooling.

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? 

Yes. Condensation related damages and mould growth can be prevented by reducing indoor humidity.  

Can an air conditioning unit help with allergies? 

Yes. Modern units are fitted with special filters that will help remove dust, pollen, and other allergens, improving indoor air quality.

Great company to do business with and very efficient. I found their number on the internet and after informing them of the units that we had they came back with a very competitive quote. We had been using another company but the owner decided to move to Bristol so had to find someone else. Very lucky that the search engine found EHF and Ellie who I spoke to sent the quote virtually within 1 hour of conversation. The technician who was Alexander came as promised between 8.00 am and 11.00 am and carried out a full check and clean on the 3 units and sent us the reading for all within 2 hours. No problems and all filters etc cleaned and batteries check in remotes etc. We will certainly be using EHL again. Thank you so much for a Efficient service ! Will recommend them to our friends that have air conditioning in their homes.
