A job we did in N12
North Finchley N12
Samsung Gen 7 12kW high temperature heat pump
On wall brackets on the side of the house, clear of the ground, which keeps the side passage usable and the coil away from leaves and splashback.
We install, service and repair air conditioning across North Finchley N12. A single room is £2,400 to £3,200 fitted and a whole house is £8,400 to £11,300, with a free survey and a written price that does not change.
A single 3.5 kW unit in a first-floor bedroom of a semi, condenser in the side return. One day. The second most common is the same house with a second unit added for a loft conversion.
What the housing in North Finchley means for the job
Interwar semis off the A1000, Victorian terraces towards Woodhouse Road, and a large stock of purpose-built 1930s flats where the freeholder decides.
North Finchley is dominated by interwar semi-detached housing, which is close to ideal: a side return for the outdoor unit, a straightforward run to the bedrooms above, and enough distance to a boundary that permitted development is rarely in doubt. Towards Woodhouse Road and the Finchley Central end there are Victorian terraces where the rear elevation is the only realistic position. The purpose-built 1930s and 1950s blocks along and off the High Road are a different job again: structurally easy, and entirely dependent on what the freeholder's alterations policy says.
Worth knowing before you book. Side returns in N12 are often used as the only route to the garden. Where the unit goes matters for living with it, not just for fitting it, and we would rather move it a metre at the survey than after.
Nearest postcodes we also cover: Whetstone N20, 1.5 miles; New Southgate N11, 1.7 miles; Southgate N14, 2.7 miles.

N11
New Southgate
Daikin multi-split condenser
Wall-mounted on brackets rather than stood on the ground, which is usually what a narrow side return leaves you, and the refrigerant lines dropped in a single trunked run.

East Barnet
Air conditioning pipework in a new nursery, first fix
A nursery still being built: the refrigerant pipework and control cables run through the ceiling void above the corridor and down a riser between floors, tied in and sealed, before the ceilings and walls are closed.

Heat pump
N14
Southgate
Vaillant aroTHERM plus air source heat pump
A gas boiler out and a heat pump in over three days, a few streets from our own base. The unit stands beside the garden decking on anti-vibration feet, with the pipework taken along the fence line.

Barnet
Cascade pair of air source heat pumps
Two machines in cascade on a flat roof, flow and return in insulated copper with isolating valves on each leg, so one can be shut down and worked on while the other keeps the building warm.

NW7
Mill Hill
Vaillant aroTHERM plus air source heat pump
Gas boiler to heat pump in three days, with the grant approved within 48 hours. The unit stands on anti-vibration feet on a concrete pad close to the house, which keeps the pipe run short.

Cockfosters
Vaillant aroTHERM plus 7 kW air source heat pump
Replaced an old gas boiler in three days. Raised on feet over a gravel bed at the side of the garden, so the defrost water drains away rather than pooling round the base.

N22
Wood Green
Samsung monobloc air source heat pump
Stood on a levelled base built up out of the border rather than on soil, so the feet stay out of standing water and the unit does not settle out of level over a winter.

N8
Hornsey
Vaillant aroTHERM plus air source heat pump
The owner wanted the indoor equipment out of the living space, so it went into the loft. The outdoor unit has its own base in the garden. Three days, gas boiler out.

See if it paysAir conditioning in North Finchley: common questions
Will the outdoor unit fit in my side return?
In an interwar semi, nearly always. The unit is about the size of a large suitcase on its side and it needs clear air in front of the coil, not a large footprint.
The measurement that matters is the distance to the boundary rather than the width of the passage, because that is the one permitted development cares about.
Is a loft conversion different?
It needs more cooling than the floor area suggests, because a converted loft sits directly under the roof and gains heat all afternoon.
Do you cover the rest of Barnet?
All of it. The Barnet page covers the whole borough, including Hampstead Garden Suburb, where external alterations are tightly controlled.
Our address is in N14, inside the borough, so most Barnet jobs are within twenty minutes.
