About our commercial air conditioning in Chiddingly

Once a system is in, it needs looking after. A maintenance contract keeps servicing and leak checks on schedule, with the records kept up to date with the cost agreed up front. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. Typical jobs include R410A systems getting dearer to top up and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, on server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and multi-split systems.

For a business near Chiddingly, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building.

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 every service is written up.

What happens on the day

The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Chiddingly.

  1. First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
  2. You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
  3. We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
  4. We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
  5. Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
  • Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
  • Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Do you need commercial air conditioning in Chiddingly?

Schools and public buildings often need work done in the holidays. We plan installs for holidays and weekends to keep teaching undisturbed.

What we’re most often called about:

  • Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
  • Server rooms running too warm
  • Work raised by a TM44 inspection

Churches and halls such as The Parish Church are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.

What your quote should include

  • If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
  • The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
  • Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications

How to choose an air conditioning engineer

We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.

Chiddingly: your questions answered

Is Chiddingly within the area you cover?

Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

Can I fit air conditioning in Chiddingly without planning permission?

It depends on the property. The centre of Chiddingly is in the Chiddingly 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 planning department at Wealden council, normally the authority for Chiddingly when it matters.

Can I do any of the installation myself?

No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.

How much time does a commercial air con install need?

It takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. The size of the building, the system and any phasing make the biggest difference and the programme comes with your quote.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.

How often is a TM44 inspection needed?

Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor and we can help before and after.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
