Commercial air conditioning in Caversham Heights, done properly
Commercial systems are commercial systems priced after survey. We look at the building, the people in it, the equipment and the hours it’s used, and a fixed-price quote follows. That way the system fits the site and the price is clear before work starts. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and work raised by a TM44 inspection.
For a business near Caversham Heights, there’s typically space for plant at the rear, which keeps them out of sight and easy to service.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Visits to a place like Caversham Heights are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
- Keep a log for each system
Once the system is commissioned, we hand over the records, the controls and the manufacturer documents. They’ll be needed for servicing, leak checks and TM44 inspections.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Caversham Heights
Will you come out to Caversham Heights?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Caversham Heights?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Caversham Heights holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Caversham Heights, usually Reading council).
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually 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 every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
We do. A contract keeps the system serviced and any required leak checks on schedule and every visit is recorded.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
For systems at or above 5 tCO2e, the operator must have leak checks carried out and keep records. The intervals are at least yearly from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and 6-monthly from 50 to under 500 tCO2e and we carry out the checks and keep the records.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, 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.
Safe owner checks
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749.
