Multi-split air conditioning in Hitchin
Multi-split is a good fit for Hitchin flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat.
Twin and triple systems suit Hitchin homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. Hitchin is about 21 miles from Watford and falls within our Hertfordshire coverage. Coverage includes SG4 and SG5.

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.
