KH Air Conditioning is REFCOM registered, fully insured, and uses REFCOM qualified engineers for all air conditioning work.

Air Conditioning To Match Your Space

A bedroom, home office and shop need different air conditioning set-ups.

Room size, how you use the space, when you occupy it, and how much heat enters it all matter.

We offer free, no-obligation surveys and quotes for air conditioning installation in Chelmsford. This is so we can determine:

• Room size
• Intended use
• Window area
• Insulation
• Occupancy
• Appliances that produce heat
• Indoor unit positions
• Available outdoor space
• Pipe routes
• Electrical supply and access
• Noise and nearby properties
• The number of rooms you want cooling
• Type of air conditioning systems
• Brands of air conditioning systems

You can’t choose air conditioning based on room size alone.

Temperatures in an outdoor home office will vary more than in a room in your home. It will likely contain computers and other items which produce heat.

Noise and indoor unit position are essential considerations in a bedroom.

Small commercial premises differ from domestic settings. Several people may occupy a room throughout the day. Doors may open frequently. Equipment and lighting can add heat.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to air conditioning. Which is why we undertake free surveys and quotes for all air con work.

All proeprties are different. All air conditioning needs are different.

The survey allows us to determine the best system and the best way to fit it for your unique situation.

Air conditioning installation starts from £1,300, with the final price depending on the proposed system and the work involved.

Air Conditioning For Homes In Chelmsford

Air conditioning can be installed in a single room or throughout your propety.

Many Chelmsford homowners start with the rooms where temperature control matters most.

Air conditioning is common in:

• Bedrooms
• Living rooms
• Dining areas
• Home offices
• Garden rooms
• Loft conversions
• Conservatories
• Open-plan living areas

A single room will only need one indoor unit. Several rooms will require a different arrangement.

How you use your home matters.

You may want a cooler bedroom at night without cooling other rooms. A home office will likely need cooling only during the working day.

An open-plan space will likely need cooling in the afternoon and evening. But will need a higher cooling capacity due to the larger space.

Modern air conditioning systems also provide heating.

This gives you control over selected rooms without heating or cooling every room in your property at the same time.

Our domestic air conditioning installation services in Chelmsford always start with the rooms you want to cool. Not with a predetermined system.

Choosing Air Conditioning For Your Chelmsford Home

A city-centre flat, a Victorian terrace in Old Moulsham and a newer home in Beaulieu Park will need very different air conditioning installations.

The size and layout of your home will determine where we can position the indoor units, where the outdoor unit can go and how we run the pipework.

Here are examples of the types of properties we regularly install in around Chelmsford.

• Semi-detached and detached homes: Great Baddow and Springfield have plenty of these. We’ll look at which rooms you want to cool, how many units you may need and where an outdoor unit can be positioned without getting in the way.
• Newer homes: Beaulieu Park is a good example. If you only want air conditioning in one or two rooms, a split or multi-split system may be enough. Ducted air conditioning is another option where there is suitable ceiling or roof space.
• Flats and maisonettes: These are common around Chelmsford city centre and the station. Outdoor units can be more complicated, so it’s worth checking your lease and speaking to the freeholder or building manager first.
• Bungalows: There are plenty around Great Baddow and Old Springfield. Having everything on one floor makes it easier to plan a system around the rooms you use most.
• Period terraces: Old Moulsham has many Victorian terraces. Narrow gardens, old, uneven walls and limited outdoor space affect where units and pipework can go.
• Village homes: Properties in places such as Writtle and Boreham range from older cottages to much newer houses. There is no standard setup, so we assess each property to recommend the best system.

During your free survey, we’ll review the rooms you want to cool, possible unit positions, pipework, drainage, electrical supply, and access.

Once we know what will work, we’ll explain the options and provide a written quote.

Air Conditioning For Shops, Salons And Workplaces

Temperatures affect customers, staff, safety and productivity. Which is why air conditioning is just as important in the workplace as it is at home.

KH Air Conditioning installs systems in light-commercial premises, such as:

• Shops and retail units
• Salons
• Treatment rooms
• Offices
• Light industrial units
• Reception areas
• Studios
• Similar small-business spaces

We aim to install the best systems for each workspace and how the business uses it.

A treatment room may want a whisper-quiet system with low noise. A shop can have changing occupancy and regular door opening. An office will contain computers and other devices which add heat throughout the working day.

The survey will account for these differences. Ensuring the best system for your business is fitted.

Commercial air conditioning in Chelmsford includes wall-mounted, floor-mounted, cassette, ceiling-suspended or ducted systems where suitable.

The premises’ size, shape and type will determine which options are suitable.

A Single System For Heating And Cooling

Our air conditioning systems are not limited to hot summer days.

Most systems operate as air-to-air heat pumps, meaning they can heat and cool.

During warmer weather, the system removes heat from the room. In colder periods, the cycle can be reversed to supply heat.

This will give you:

• Cooling during hot weather
• Heating during cold weather
• Climate control in selected rooms

You’ll be able to heat single rooms without relying on central heating and having to heat every room in your home.

Separate room controls are also useful as different spaces have different schedules.

You can heat your home office during the workday while other rooms aren’t being used. Then heat your living room in the evening.

Optimising heating room by room can save energy and money.

One Room, Several Rooms Or A Concealed Ducted System?

The number of rooms you want to cool is only one aspect of choosing an air conditioning system.

You also need to consider where the units can go.

The options include:

• Single-split system: connects one indoor unit to one outdoor unit. The indoor unit is usually fitted on the wall the outdoor unit sits on the ground or wall outside.
• Multi-split system: connects several indoor units (usually on the walls) to one outdoor unit (fitted to the exterior wall or standing on the ground).
• Ducted system: is concealed. You can only see the grilles in the ceiling or walls. Outdoor units are on a wall or on the ground.

Single split and multi split systems are the most commonly fitted air conditioning systems in Chelmsford. They work in most property types.

Ducted air conditioning needs space for:

• The concealed indoor equipment
• Ductwork
• Supply and return grilles
• Drainage
• Refrigerant pipework
• Service access

A loft, ceiling void, or suitable service space may provide enough room for the required components. Not every property has the available space for a ducted system.

Your free survey will establish whether a single split, multi-split, or ducted system is best for your property.

Choosing The Right System For Your Property

Two rooms with similar floor areas may need different aircon solutions.

Air conditioning system choice is influenced by:

• Room dimensions
• Insulation
• Window size
• Direct sunlight
• Number of occupants
• Heat-producing appliances
• Required heating and cooling
• Noise requirements
• Viable Indoor and outdoor unit positions
• Available budget

We consider all these factors to ensure we install the best system for each space.

KH Air Conditioning installs air conditioning systems from manufacturers Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Worcester Bosch, Midea, and Gree.

We are an independent installer. We recommend systems based on your property and survey findings, not just a manufacturer partnership.

All systems fitted include the manufacturer’s warranty.

What Happens During An Air Conditioning Installation?

The process for installing air conditioning in Chelmsford follows these stages:

1. Initial discussion: We have a chat to establish which rooms need cooling or heating and how you use them.
2. Free property survey: We survey your property and rooms, then establish unit positions, outdoor space, pipe routes, drainage, electrical supply, access, and other installation factors.
3. System recommendation: We then recommend an air conditioning system based on the survey findings.
4. Written no-obligation quote: You’ll receive the proposed work and price in writing. You can then compare and decide if you want to proceed.
5. Installation: We agree an installation date. Our engineers install your new air conditioning system to the agreed specification.
6. Testing and controls handover: We test the installed system and show you how to use its controls.

We are always on hand after installation in case you run into any issues or need further help or advice.

All air conditioning installations come with a manufacturers warranty as standard. The length of the warraty depends on the make and model of units fitted.

Having FGAS-registered engineers undertake your installation ensures your warranty is valid. We’ll answer any questions you may have about your warrnty during the survey or following installation.

Servicing & Repairs

We provide air conditioning servicing and repairs.

Servicing covers key components, the cleaning of filters and coils. We test system performance and identify wear before it develops into a fault.

Servicing can improve airflow, maintain heating and cooling performance and help keep energy use under control. Servicing is often required to keep the manufacturer’s warranty valid.

We also repair air conditioning systems. Our repair services include no call-out charges.

See our Air Conditioning Servicing & Repairs page for more information.

What You Can Expect From KH Air Conditioning

Choosing an air conditioning installer should be about more than a list of badges and claims.

You need someone who can assess the property, understand how you want to use the system, and recommend equipment that is right for the space.

KH Air Conditioning provides:

• REFCOM-registered engineers
• Full insurance
• Free air conditioning surveys
• Written, no-obligation quotes
• Domestic and light-commercial installations
• Single-split and multi-split systems
• Ducted air conditioning
• Installation, servicing and repairs
• Recommendations based on the property and survey findings

REFCOM registration and F-Gas qualifications show that the refrigerant side of the work is being handled correctly and by suitably qualified engineers.

They are important, but they do not tell you whether a particular system is right for your home or business.

That is where the survey comes in.

We look at the size and layout of the space, how the rooms are used, where units can be positioned and what you want the system to achieve.

From there, we can recommend a system that suits your property and how you plan to use it.
