What air conditioning will not do
Commercial air conditioning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Issuing TM44 reports
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll tell you honestly.

Commercial air conditioning in Charlbury, done properly
The right system depends on the building. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. If the problem is comms rooms without enough cooling and leak check schedules that have slipped, we can sort it out.
In a place like Charlbury, commercial air conditioning is often for a shop, a surgery, a pub, an office unit or a farm business. Many need just one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Charlbury: your questions answered
Is air conditioning in Charlbury permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Charlbury sits inside the Charlbury 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 West Oxfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Charlbury when it matters.
Do you cover Charlbury for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Charlbury is one of the places we cover. Just ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
Expect it to take anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. The size of the building, the system and any phasing make the biggest difference, and we set out the timing with your quote.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works and we’ll help with the system side.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes. A contract keeps the system serviced and any required leak checks on schedule, with records kept for each visit.
Business air conditioning in Charlbury
There are about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Charlbury, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms.
Around Charlbury station, an office brief might cover an open-plan floor, meeting rooms and a comms cupboard, each with its own needs.

So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Charlbury.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where necessary.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Charlbury
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The pipe route between the units
- What state the existing equipment is in
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your installation or service records
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Safe owner checks
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
