Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Ashton Green
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are R410A systems getting dearer to top up and TM44 recommendations that need acting on.
In a village like Ashton Green, commercial air conditioning is usually for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Different systems, different jobs
Offices
Office cooling has to cope with people, computers, lighting and sunshine. The system is sized for what the space really needs with units that fit the layout.
VRF and VRV systems
Heat recovery VRF can move heat from rooms that need cooling to rooms that need heating, depending on the system chosen. We’ll say whether it suits your site.
What air conditioning won’t do
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
- Fire risk assessments
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- VRF systems
- Server and comms room cooling
- Ceiling cassettes
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Ashton Green easier.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Questions from Ashton Green
Will you come out to Ashton Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Ashton Green for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Ashton Green is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
It depends on the system and the property. 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. Listed buildings, conservation areas and flats have extra limits. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Commercial air conditioning around Ashton Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ashton Green. Many of those sites need air conditioning that is sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Ashton Green, Arches Farmhouse (grade II) among them. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling is not covered at all, so we check with the local planning authority (usually Lewes council) where necessary.
If you look after a church or hall such as The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

When to call us in Ashton Green
Offices and shops often gain heat from people, lighting, computers and sun through the windows, and opening windows doesn’t always help. A system sized for the real heat load deals with it.
What we’re most often called about:
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
- Buildings that cannot close for the work
- IT rooms that need resilient cooling
For a surgery or clinic in the Lewes Victoria Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
