Commercial air conditioning in Bishop's Stortford, done properly
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. Typical jobs include systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and changes of use that need a new layout, across ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Commercial installs in Bishop's Stortford are planned to keep you trading, often over a weekend or a few evenings.
We are 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.

Common questions in Bishop's Stortford
Do you cover Bishop's Stortford for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Bishop's Stortford is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will air conditioning in Bishop's Stortford need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Bishop's Stortford is in the Bishop's Stortford Conservation Area. 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 local planning authority (for Bishop's Stortford, typically East Hertfordshire council) when it matters.
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.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out and we can help before and after.
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. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
It takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. The scale and programme decide most of it and the programme comes with your quote.
