What are the benefits of installing air conditioning in my home?

Air conditioning provides consistent indoor comfort by cooling and dehumidifying the air, which is especially valuable during warmer months. Many modern systems also offer heating options, making them a versatile solution for year-round climate control. Additionally, air conditioning can improve indoor air quality by filtering out dust and allergens.

Are air conditioning units energy-efficient?

Many modern air conditioning units are designed to be highly energy-efficient, helping to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. Advanced inverter technology allows systems to adjust output based on demand, improving efficiency while maintaining comfort. Choosing an appropriately sized system and keeping it well maintained can further enhance energy performance.

How much maintenance does a home air conditioning system need?

Basic maintenance involves cleaning or replacing filters every few months to maintain air quality and system efficiency. Annual servicing by a professional is recommended to check refrigerant levels, clean coils, and inspect electrical components, ensuring reliable operation.

Can air conditioning units also heat my home?

Yes, many air conditioning units come with a heat pump function, allowing them to provide both cooling and heating. This feature makes them a versatile solution for year-round comfort, reducing the need for a separate heating system.

How long do air conditioning units last?

With proper maintenance, air conditioning units can last 10 to 15 years or more. Regular servicing helps extend their lifespan, keeping them energy-efficient and preventing costly repairs.

Your boiler does come with a manufacturer’s guarantee but this only covers you for anything that goes wrong within the boiler casing itself, not any external factors. If you call the manufacturer out and the issue is not boiler-related, they charge a very high fee for the call out.

We will send you a GoCardless link into which you input your bank details, and the payment will then be taken by monthly direct debit.

You are covered for your annual service cost which is normally £80 + VAT and also for any boiler or plumbing call outs which are also charged at £80 + VAT.

Simply call our office on 0203 576 1170 during the hours of 8.30 – 5.30 Mon-Fri and we will arrange for someone to attend.

No, you do not have to use the Walsh Care Plan but you will need to get your boiler serviced each year to maintain its’ manufacturer’s guarantee

I can not rate Walsh Plumbing highly enough. From start to finish the service was smooth, quick and professional. Sales, pricing, fitting, after sales service - all faultless. Such a relief to have had my boiler replaced so quickly and smoothly. Thank you

Had my back boiler replaced by Walsh Plumbing Ltd. Excellent job. Organised and clean during the works. Good rate. Good communication. Mikel is a true professional tradesman who delivered an outstanding job in 2 days time. Highly recommended

Fitted in new boiler and took old very large barrel shaped one away! Professional, very good rate and even brought their own hoover and cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend

Used Walsh Plumbing to replace my boiler which packed up. They came out literally 2 hours after my boiler stopped working, and 1.5 days later they had installed a new one. Great communication and service I would highly recommend.

Fantastic service. Visited same day to quote and talked us through numerous options. Quick turnover from deciding which option to go with to getting an installation booked. The engineer carrying out the boiler install was very professional, tidy and kept us informed of his progress throughout. Would highly recommend.

I have recently used Walsh plumbing for a service of my boiler and fitting of two new radiators- I couldn’t fault them one bit! Their professionalism throughout was top notch & they were tidy and polite from start to finish. We also provide them with scaffolding when required (just scaffolding Hertfordshire LTD)
