About commercial air conditioning in Medway

There’s no single best commercial system. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. Typical jobs include changes of use that need a new layout and commercial systems near the end of their life, on ducted systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes.

Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building.

  1. We start with the details of the building and the problem.
  2. We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
  3. We set out the options, the price and the programme.
  4. Installation goes ahead around the business.
  5. The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.

Commercial air conditioning across Medway: local notes

In Medway, we work for businesses in places such as Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester and well beyond. We cover every place we list for Medway, 68 in all.

London and the South East cover everything from city flats to rural cottages. Our work is F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved for the electrics and MCS certified for heat pumps. Medway includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of outdoor coils and fixings. Outdoor unit position and regular servicing both help near the sea.

Gillingham: For a school like Featherby Junior School, air conditioning work is best done out of term. For a church or hall like Holy Trinity Church, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

Common problems we fix in Medway

Offices and shops often gain heat from people, lighting, computers and sun through the windows and windows alone cannot always shift it. A system sized for the real heat load deals with it.

Reasons to give us a call include:

  • IT rooms that need resilient cooling
  • Staff complaining about the temperature
  • Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
  • R410A systems getting dearer to top up

Honest limits

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Structural alterations to the building
  • Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
  • Fire risk assessments

Leave it or put it right?

A well-planned programme lets the building stay open while the work goes on. Leaving it until a system fails can mean urgent work at the worst moment.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether extra work needs your approval first
  • Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
  • Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
  • How VAT is shown, and which rate applies

Keeping the system healthy

Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:

  • Diary TM44 inspections in advance
  • Keep a log for each system
  • Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
  • Plan regular servicing with a contract

The warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions and you’ll know what they ask for.

Replace ageing systems on your own timetable, particularly where they use R410A.

Common questions in Medway

What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?

Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from leading brands. We set out the choices after surveying the site.

Do you protect the property while you work?

Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.

What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?

Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator needs to arrange leak checks and keep records where the system requires them and we handle that for you.

Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?

Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?

That depends on what’s being fitted and where. In England, an air source heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, so check with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.

Can you set up regular servicing?

Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
