Heating and cooling, not just cooling
A modern split system is an air to air heat pump. In summer it cools the room. In winter it heats it, producing three to four units of heat for every unit of electricity it uses. For a lot of Huntingdon homes with an oil boiler, or a conservatory or loft room that is unusable for half the year, that is the real reason to fit one. Our air conditioning page explains how the systems work in more detail.
What we fit in Huntingdon
- Single split systems for one room: a bedroom, home office, lounge or conservatory. The most common job we do.
- Multi split systems where one outdoor unit serves two to five rooms, which keeps the outside of the house tidy.
- Daikin Multi+ which adds a hot water cylinder to the same outdoor unit, so one system heats, cools and does your hot water.
Every install is done by our own employed engineers. The electrical supply to the outdoor unit is sized and installed by us as electricians, not left for someone else, and the pipework is pressure tested and vacuumed before commissioning. That is the part that decides whether the unit is still working properly in ten years.
Typical cost
A single wall mounted Daikin unit in a Huntingdon home is usually £1,800 to £2,800 fitted, depending on the size of the room, the pipe run to the outdoor unit and the electrical work needed. Multi splits start around £4,500. We quote a fixed price after the survey.
Questions we get asked in Huntingdon
Will it need planning permission?
Usually not. The outdoor unit is permitted development for most houses in Huntingdon provided it meets the size and position rules, which we design to. Listed buildings and flats are different and we will check first.
Is it noisy?
Modern Daikin indoor units run at around 19 to 22 decibels on low, which is quieter than a fridge. The outdoor unit is placed away from bedrooms and neighbours where we can.
How much does it cost to run?
Cooling a bedroom overnight costs pennies. Heating a room through winter with a split system is typically the cheapest form of heating available in a home without a gas supply, and cheaper than gas on an off peak tariff if you have solar or a battery.
Servicing and F-Gas
We service systems we did not install as well as our own. An annual service keeps the warranty valid and the efficiency up. If you have a unit in Huntingdon that is not cooling, icing up or showing a fault code, call us and we will tell you over the phone whether it needs a visit.
