When to call us in Erith

A fit-out, refurbishment or change of use often means rethinking the air conditioning. New partitions, more staff or different equipment change the heat load, and the system has to match.

Reasons to give us a call include:

  • IT rooms that need resilient cooling
  • Offices that get too hot in summer
  • Commercial systems near the end of their life

If you look after a school such as Christ Church (Erith) CofE Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.

What your quote should include

  • Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
  • What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
  • Whether the quote is a fixed price

Choosing an air con installer

Commercial air conditioning in Erith, done properly

Server rooms and comms rooms need cooling that keeps going. The design accounts for the equipment’s heat and can include a second unit as backup so one failure doesn’t take everything down. If you’re dealing with R410A systems getting dearer to top up and IT rooms that need resilient cooling, we can sort it out.

London buildings in Erith can have little space for outdoor plant, so roofs, light wells and basements are common positions. VRF systems can serve many indoor units from a small number of outdoor units, which helps in dense areas.

Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Business air conditioning in Erith

There are about 51 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 22 schools and colleges and about 47 care, childcare and hospital premises within about 1.5 miles of central Erith, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.

Churches and halls such as Christ 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.

System by system

F-gas records and TM44

Keeping the paperwork up to date helps with inspections and we help you keep it organised.

Offices

Offices gain heat from occupants, equipment and the sun. The system is sized for what the space really needs with units that fit the layout.

The process

Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Send us a few phone photos and we can often price a straightforward job in Erith before visiting.

  1. First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
  2. The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
  3. We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
  4. Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
  5. We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.

How to prepare

  • Clear a path to the units and the space around them
  • Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
  • Let us know where we can park and unload

Erith: your questions answered

Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Erith?

In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.

Can I fit air conditioning in Erith without planning permission?

It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Lesney Park Road Conservation Area is close to the centre of Erith. 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 isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Bexley council, which is typically the planning authority for Erith.

How does the warranty work?

Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.

What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?

Commercial systems are priced after a site survey. The building, the heat load, the system type and the programme all affect the cost, and you get a fixed-price quote before work starts.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.

Which manufacturers do you install and repair?

We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?

Yes, with visits planned around the site. For breakdowns, there’s a 24/7 emergency line.

Aftercare tips

Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:

  • Don’t let servicing slip
  • Plan replacements before old systems fail
  • Diary TM44 inspections in advance

We show your team how to use the controls, so the system is run the way it was designed. Getting the settings right helps the system perform.

Good records make inspections and audits easier. For systems at or over 5 tCO2e, they’re required.

A customer’s words

“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.”
