Before any plant goes outside a building like Parish Church of St Peter, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. If you look after a school such as Benington Church of England Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.

Commercial air conditioning in Benington

Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. We are often asked to deal with TM44 recommendations that need acting on and missing F-gas records for commercial systems, on ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and ducted systems.

Around Benington, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.

Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

  • Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

System by system

Hotels and schools

If the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is required at least every 5 years and we can get the system ready and carry out the work it recommends.

Server and comms rooms

Server rooms generate heat all day and night and the cooling must keep up all year. We size the system on the heat load.

Benington: your questions answered

Will air conditioning in Benington need planning permission?

There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Benington Conservation Area is close to the centre of Benington. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at East Hertfordshire council, normally the authority for Benington when it matters.

Will you come out to Benington?

Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Do you provide F-Gas records?

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.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.

When is a TM44 inspection required?

Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK and we’ll help with the system side.

Rented and managed buildings

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.

Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

How it works

Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. If a lane or gateway near Benington is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.

  1. First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
  2. We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
  3. We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
  4. We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
  5. We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
  • Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
  • Clear a path to the units and the space around them
