What commercial work looks like in Crawley
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 101 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 9 hotels and guest houses and about 23 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crawley. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 56% of homes across Crawley and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 36% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind.
Offices near Crawley station often need cooling for meeting rooms and server cupboards as well as the main space. If you look after a school such as Three Bridges Junior School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is normally installed in the holidays.
Crawley is about 27 miles south of London, in West Sussex. Across the RH10 area, our engineers can take on commercial air conditioning. Crawley is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex we cover for homes and businesses.

Commercial air conditioning in Crawley
Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases so disruption is kept down. The programme is agreed before any work starts. If the problem is systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, we can sort it out.
Commercial work in Crawley ranges from shops and restaurants to offices, schools and server rooms. Each one is sized for its own heat load and hours, so we survey before we design and quote.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Pricing commercial air conditioning in Crawley
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it

FAQs for Crawley
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Crawley?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Crawley is a short walk from the Brighton Road Conservation Area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Crawley, typically Crawley council).
How do I get a quote for commercial air conditioning in Crawley?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
We install wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
We do. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time and each visit is recorded.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
TM44 inspections are carried out by accredited energy assessors, which we are not. We get the system ready and act on the findings.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours, and we tidy up before we leave. Send pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go, and we can plan the work in Crawley.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Different systems, different jobs
VRF and VRV systems
VRF (variable refrigerant flow), also called VRV, connects many indoor units to shared outdoor units. Each zone can be controlled separately making it a common choice for larger buildings.
Server and comms rooms
Adding a second unit gives resilience and we can explain how they would work together.

From one of our customers
“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.”
