Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Barnet
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Barnet, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer.
For Barnet landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Barnet is about 11 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Coverage includes EN5.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
