How we handle commercial air conditioning in Etchingwood
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. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. Common call-outs are for work raised by a TM44 inspection and staff complaining about the temperature, on ducted systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems.
For a business near Etchingwood, outdoor units usually have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Common problems we fix in Etchingwood
The GB phase-down is reducing HFC supply, so refrigerants like R410A are getting scarcer and dearer for top-ups. Servicing and repairing R410A systems is still allowed though it’s worth bearing in mind when planning ahead.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
If you look after a school such as Uckfield College, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.
Comparing quotes
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
After we’ve gone
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Plan regular servicing with a contract
- Review older R410A systems before they need major repairs
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
For systems over 12 kW, keep track of the 5-yearly TM44 inspection. We can prepare the system and act on the report.
Good records make inspections and audits easier. For systems at or over 5 tCO2e, they’re required.
Etchingwood questions
Is air conditioning in Etchingwood permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Etchingwood. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Etchingwood, typically Wealden council).
Is Etchingwood within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out and we can help before and after.
The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Etchingwood so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
