FAQs
What types of air-conditioning systems do you install in Harrogate?
We design, supply and install the full spectrum of modern air-conditioning solutions, including high-wall split systems for single rooms, multi-split units that serve several areas from one outdoor condenser, ceiling cassettes for larger open-plan spaces, and VRF/VRV systems for commercial premises requiring zoned control. Our engineers will survey your property, assess heat-load, aesthetics and budget, then recommend the most efficient and future-proof option.
Can the units you install provide heating as well as cooling?
Yes. All the equipment we specify for Harrogate homes and businesses uses inverter-driven heat-pump technology, meaning every unit can reverse its cycle and act as an extremely efficient heater. In heating mode they typically deliver around 3–4 kW of heat for every 1 kW of electricity consumed (a CoP of 3–4), making them cheaper to run than most electric radiators and on a par with modern gas boilers.
Will an air-conditioning system significantly increase my electricity bills?
Not if it is sized and installed correctly. Modern A++ rated inverter units consume far less power than older on/off models—often as little as 20–40 pence per hour for a typical bedroom or office. Because Harrogate’s climate is moderate, units rarely have to work at full capacity, further lowering running costs. We also recommend features such as programmable thermostats, motion sensors and Wi-Fi control to help you avoid unnecessary energy use.
Do I need planning permission to fit air-conditioning at my property in Harrogate?
In most domestic situations the answer is no, because a single outdoor condenser generally falls under ‘permitted development’. The main restrictions involve the size of the external unit, its distance from boundaries and noise output. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some flats will require additional consent. For commercial installations we advise checking with Harrogate Borough Council’s planning department. We are happy to handle any applications or acoustic reports on your behalf.
How often should my air-conditioning be serviced, and what does maintenance involve?
To keep warranties valid and maximise efficiency, we recommend a full service every 12 months for domestic units and every 6 months for heavily used commercial systems. Our F-Gas certified technicians will clean filters and heat-exchangers, check refrigerant pressures, test electrical components, sanitise condensate trays, and issue an F-Gas log. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, improves air quality and can reduce energy consumption by up to 15 %.
What warranties and after-sales support do you offer in Harrogate?
All equipment comes with a manufacturer’s warranty of 3–7 years, depending on the brand. Because we are accredited installers for Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Panasonic, registering your system through us secures the maximum cover. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, and we operate a 24/7 call-out service for contract customers. Should any issues arise, our local engineers carry common spare parts to resolve most problems on the first visit.
