Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Branbridges
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. We’re often asked to deal with server rooms running too warm and leak check schedules that have slipped, across server and comms room cooling, multi-split systems and VRF systems.
Around Branbridges, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.

How the job changes from property to property
VRF and VRV systems
VRF systems hold more refrigerant than small splits, so F-gas leak checks and records are more likely to apply. We work out the tCO2e and set the check schedule.
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.
Questions from Branbridges
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Branbridges?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Branbridges holds about 12 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 Tonbridge and Malling council, which is typically the planning authority for Branbridges.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Branbridges?
We do: Branbridges falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
What happens if it’s left?
Small faults in a commercial system can spread to the whole building’s comfort. Planned maintenance catches issues before they grow and keeps the building comfortable. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
