Multi-split air conditioning in Harlow
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. In a house in Harlow with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear.
Twin and triple systems suit Harlow homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. Harlow lies roughly 31 miles from Southend-on-Sea, and we cover it as part of Essex. Postcode districts we cover here include CM17 and CM18.

The survey
A survey in Harlow usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. On a survey in Harlow the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
