Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Finchley
Design-led units suit Finchley homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell.
For Finchley houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Finchley lies roughly 8 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Homes in N3 are all within our coverage.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
