Different systems, different jobs
Server and comms rooms
A backup unit can keep the room cool if one fails, and we can discuss how they share the load.
VRF and VRV systems
VRF systems hold more refrigerant than small splits so leak checks and records often apply. We calculate the tCO2e and plan the checks.
How we handle commercial air conditioning in Birdham
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 multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and server and comms room cooling, and common reasons people get in touch are comms rooms without enough cooling and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down.
Around Birdham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Commercial air conditioning in Birdham: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Birdham. For a business near the sea, outdoor plant position and corrosion protection are part of the design.
If you look after a church or hall such as St James' Church, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

What else we do in Birdham
Do you need commercial air conditioning in Birdham?
A fit-out, refurbishment or change of use often means rethinking the air conditioning. More people, new walls or extra equipment alter what the system has to cope with and the system needs to match the new layout.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
- IT rooms that need resilient cooling
If you look after a school such as Birdham CE Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Call about warning signs right away
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
For systems over 12 kW, keep track of the 5-yearly TM44 inspection. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Blocked filters and obstructed outdoor units make the system work harder.
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Birdham
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Birdham?
It can, as Birdham is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Is air conditioning in Birdham permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 9 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Birdham. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, 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 Chichester council, typically the authority for Birdham.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Birdham.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where needed.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Getting ready for the visit
