FAQs
What heating, air-conditioning and ventilation services do you provide in Harrogate?
We offer a complete suite of HVAC solutions for homes and businesses across Harrogate and the surrounding villages. This includes new boiler installations, heat-pump and air-conditioning system design, replacement and repair, whole-house mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), ductwork cleaning, smart thermostat integration and ongoing maintenance contracts. All work is carried out by Gas Safe and REFCOM–registered engineers and is fully insured.
How do I know if my indoor air quality needs attention?
Common warning signs are musty or stale smells, condensation on windows, visible mould, persistent dust, allergy or asthma flare-ups, and headaches that improve when you leave the building. We can perform a detailed Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) survey that measures CO₂, humidity, particulate matter (PM2.5/10) and VOC levels. Based on the report we recommend targeted solutions such as improved extraction, HEPA filtration or a balanced heat-recovery ventilation system.
Will upgrading my heating or ventilation system lower my energy bills?
Yes. Modern A-rated boilers, inverter-driven heat pumps and high-efficiency MVHR units recover up to 90 % of heat that would otherwise be lost through extraction fans or draughts. Clients typically see energy savings of 20–35 % once an old G-rated boiler or single-speed AC unit is replaced. We also optimise controls—smart thermostats, weather compensation and zoning—to prevent unnecessary run-times, further cutting costs.
How often should I service my boiler, heat pump or air-conditioning unit?
We recommend an annual service for gas, LPG and oil boilers, and for air-conditioning or heat-pump systems used for heating. A yearly visit keeps warranties valid, ensures safe combustion, maintains refrigerant charge and maximises efficiency. For MVHR or mechanical extract systems, filters should be checked every 6 months and replaced every 12 months in most homes. Commercial sites with higher usage may require more frequent checks.
What ventilation options do you offer for older or listed properties in Harrogate?
We specialise in sympathetic retrofits that preserve character while improving comfort. Options include: • Low-profile positive input ventilation (PIV) units installed in lofts to reduce condensation. • Single-room or multi-room heat-recovery units that fit through existing wall ducts, eliminating the need for bulky pipework. • Discreet continuous extract fans with humidity sensors for kitchens and bathrooms. All proposals are backed by detailed airflow calculations and, where required, Heritage Officer liaison.
Are you accredited, and what guarantees do you provide?
Our engineers hold Gas Safe, OFTEC, REFCOM (F-Gas) and NICEIC Part P certifications, ensuring compliance with Building Regulations and industry best practice. We are also members of TrustMark and the Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering (CIPHE). All new installations carry a minimum 12-month workmanship guarantee and up to 10-year manufacturer warranties on selected boilers, heat pumps and AC units. Planned-preventative maintenance (PPM) packages and 24/7 emergency call-out services are available for additional peace of mind.
