Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Ashridge
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. The work covers server and comms room cooling, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are buildings that can’t close for the work and comms rooms without enough cooling.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Ashridge, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Common questions in Ashridge
Is Ashridge in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Ashridge is one of the places we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 with a few details.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Ashridge?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Ashridge holds about 20 listed buildings and structures. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Dacorum council, typically the authority for Ashridge.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we’re not assessors. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Ashridge can be planned properly.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where necessary.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
