Commercial air conditioning in Farringdon
Where equipment generates heat around the clock, the cooling has to keep pace. The design accounts for the equipment’s heat and can include a second unit as backup so one failure doesn’t take everything down. We’re often asked to deal with systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and new tenancies needing cooling and heating, across VRF systems, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems.
For a hall or similar building near Farringdon, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Common questions in Farringdon
Will air conditioning in Farringdon need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Farringdon is in the Farringdon 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 isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Farringdon, normally East Hampshire council).
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Farringdon?
Yes, Farringdon is within the area we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. 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.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How we price commercial air conditioning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
What we are called out for in Farringdon
Older systems running on R410A face rising costs for top-ups as the GB HFC phase-down tightens supply. Repairs on existing R410A systems remain legal though it’s worth bearing in mind when planning ahead.
These are the situations we see most often:
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
- Older systems that cannot keep up
Healthcare premises near Alton Community Hospital need air conditioning that is easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.
