Air conditioning in Borough Green
Air conditioning in Borough Green, from garden offices to family homes
Apex fits heat-and-cool air conditioning in Borough Green homes, garden rooms and shops on the A25. Two of our Checkatrade reviews come from garden room and garden office jobs in the Borough Green area. Olly surveys, gives you a fixed written quote and fits the system himself.
Air con for a garden room or garden office
A garden room heats up fast in summer and loses heat fast in winter, because it has lots of glass and a small volume of air. A wall-mounted heat-and-cool unit of around 2.5 to 3.5kW usually handles both seasons.
The outdoor unit sits on the ground or a low bracket at the back of the building, and the pipes pass through one wall. The bigger question is often power: the garden room needs a suitable supply from the house, and we check that at the survey.
One customer in the Borough Green area wrote after their garden office job: "Really clear survey and quite, discussed options, made great suggestions." There is more on cooling and heating a garden office on its own page.
Air conditioning for Borough Green houses
Borough Green mixes older houses near the centre with later homes around them. On most of these the outdoor unit can go on a rear wall or a pad in the back garden, close to the room it serves. If you have a loft conversion that bakes in summer, it can often join the same outdoor unit as a bedroom or living room through a multi-split, so there is only one box outside.
Bungalows are often the simplest of all, with the indoor unit on an outside wall and the outdoor unit directly behind it. We fit Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic units, most with app control so you can warm or cool a room before you get home. Our home air con installation page explains split and multi-split systems.

A review from Borough Green
Olly came to quote the job promptly and the quote was very reasonable. The work was carried out in a professional, clean and friendly manner. He spent time making sure the unit was fully operational and fitted to a high standard. Very pleased with the service.
Shops and offices on the A25
For a shop or office on the busy main road through the village, we keep plant away from the pavement side. A rear yard, side passage or flat roof is normally the answer.
Commercial premises are not covered by the householder planning rules, so we check with you early whether the landlord or Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council needs to agree first.
A small shop with a glazed front can get very warm on a sunny afternoon, and a wall unit or compact ceiling cassette keeps staff and stock comfortable. The same system heats the shop in winter, so it can replace old electric heaters.
Wrotham, Ightham, Platt and Plaxtol
We also fit and service air conditioning in Wrotham, Ightham, Platt, Plaxtol and Wrotham Heath. Some older buildings around Wrotham and Ightham are listed, so we check your address for listing and conservation areas before planning anything.
Borough Green is about 11 miles from our base in Dartford, just off the M26. Homes in the lanes around Plaxtol and Ightham often have bigger gardens, which gives more choice over where the outdoor unit sits, well away from bedrooms and neighbours.

Word for word from Checkatrade and Google.
I cannot fault anything about the whole experience. Really clear survey and quite, discussed options, made great suggestions. The work was done to an amazing standard, better than I expected - a real perfectionist. And then everything was left absolutely spotless. Plus, Olly spent the time to explain how everything worked, maintenance, and how to get the best from the air conditioning. We are really happy with the whole job
Olly came to service our Air conditioning unit he was punctual, polite and left the unit looking clean and refreshed and gave us tips on how to keep the unit maintained. Would highly recommend!
Questions
Air conditioning in Borough Green: questions
Can you put air conditioning in a garden room in Borough Green?
Yes. Garden rooms and garden offices are some of the jobs our Borough Green area reviews mention. A single wall unit usually heats and cools the room, with a small outdoor unit on the ground or a low bracket beside it. We check the power supply from the house, the wall build and the pipe route at a free survey.
Do I need planning permission for air con on a garden office?
Often not. A heat-and-cool unit at a house, including one within the garden, is usually permitted development in England if it meets the size and siting rules and passes the MCS 020(a) noise check of 37 dB(A) at a neighbour's window. Cooling-only units, listed buildings and some conservation area positions need permission. We check this for you.
What size air conditioner does a garden office need?
Most garden offices around Borough Green need somewhere between 2.5kW and 3.5kW. The right figure depends on the floor area, how much glass faces south or west, the insulation and how many people and computers are in the room. We measure and work it out at the survey rather than guess, because an oversized unit runs less efficiently.
Do you service air conditioning in Borough Green?
Yes. We service home and business systems in Borough Green, Wrotham and Ightham, whoever fitted them. A service covers cleaning the filters, coils and fan, clearing the condensate drain, and checking pressures, temperatures and controls. A yearly service is usually needed to keep an extended manufacturer warranty valid.
