Multi-split air conditioning in Bishops Stortford
Multi-split is a good fit for Bishops Stortford flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. The East of England is one of the sunniest and driest parts of the UK, which makes glazed rooms and lofts hard to keep cool.
Twin and triple systems suit Bishops Stortford homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. Bishops Stortford lies roughly 33 miles from Southend-on-Sea, and we cover it as part of Essex. Homes in CM23 and CM22 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.
The survey

At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
