Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
- Show staff how to use the controls properly
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. We can prepare the system and act on the report.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.

Questions from Earls Colne
Do you cover Earls Colne for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Earls Colne is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Earls Colne?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Earls Colne is in the Earls Colne and White Colne West and East Conservation Area. 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 isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Braintree council, usually the authority for Earls Colne.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do. A contract keeps the system serviced and any required leak checks on schedule and every visit is recorded.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
Expect it to take a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. The scale and programme decide most of it, and we set out the timing with your quote.
