Commercial air conditioning in Cross Gate, done properly
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR, so the building works as a whole. If the problem is new tenancies needing cooling and heating and F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue, we can help.
For a business near Cross Gate, outdoor units usually have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What commercial work looks like in Cross Gate
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Cross Gate, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads.
A bursar or site manager at a school like Amberley CofE Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that. Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Arundel and District Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-west) usually want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly:
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
The warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you and you’ll know what they ask for.
Good records make inspections and audits easier. For systems at or over 5 tCO2e, they’re required.
System by system
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space above the ceiling and access for servicing for filters, drain and fan to be serviced.
VRF and VRV systems
With VRF or VRV, one set of outdoor units serves many indoor units. Each zone can be controlled separately making it a common choice for larger buildings.
FAQs for Cross Gate
Will air conditioning in Cross Gate need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Cross Gate holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. 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 local planning authority (for Cross Gate, normally Horsham council) when it matters.
Do you cover Cross Gate for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Cross Gate is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically 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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you work on all makes?
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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
It depends on the system’s tCO2e. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks and records with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.

- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
In a comms room, losing the cooling can soon become serious. Reviewing the cooling and adding resilience is best done in advance. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
