What happens on the day
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it 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 let us plan a visit to a place like Chipping Ongar.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where necessary.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit

How we handle commercial air conditioning in Chipping Ongar
Installation is only the start. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them, at a price fixed with your quote. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. Common call-outs are for offices that get too hot in summer and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, on multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes.
Businesses near Chipping Ongar often have room for outdoor units on the ground at the back, which keeps them tidy and easy to reach.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
- Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you, so you know what’s needed.
Planned maintenance is the best way to keep a commercial system healthy. The schedule and cost are fixed up front.

System by system
Offices
Office cooling has to cope with people, computers, lighting and sunshine. We size the system for the actual heat load and choose units that suit the ceiling and layout.
F-gas records and TM44
The operator of a system at or above 5 tCO2e must have it leak checked and keep records. We do the checks and give you the paperwork.
Common questions in Chipping Ongar
Is Chipping Ongar in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Chipping Ongar is part of that. To start, phone 07833 053749 or email us with a few pictures.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Chipping Ongar?
It depends on the property. The Chipping Ongar Conservation Area takes in the middle of Chipping Ongar. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Chipping Ongar, typically Epping Forest council).
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work, and the quote you get is fixed.
How long does a commercial installation take?
An installation takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. We confirm the timing after the survey, so ring 07833 053749 or email us to arrange one.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
