Rooms and systems
Old storage heaters in Potters Bar homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. For a renovation in Potters Bar, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. In Potters Bar, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. In Potters Bar, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a single hot bedroom or living room, a wall-mounted split is usually the simplest answer. Two to four rooms often suit a multi-split on one outdoor unit, while a ducted system hides everything except the grilles. Design-led units, slim floor consoles and concealed ducted systems are all options where a standard white wall unit would look out of place.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission. Flats need more care: get your freeholder's written consent first, and expect the planning rules for a block of flats in Potters Bar to be stricter than for a house.
Potters Bar is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
