About our commercial air conditioning in Foster Street
There’s no single best commercial system. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. If the problem is planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and missing F-gas records for commercial systems, we can help.
In a village like Foster Street, commercial air conditioning is normally for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. 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.

Business air conditioning in Foster Street
There are about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 12 schools and colleges in and around Foster Street, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
For a church or hall like Church of All Saints, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

How the visit works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Foster Street.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

What we’re called out for in Foster Street
The GB phase-down is reducing HFC supply, so refrigerants like R410A are getting scarcer and dearer for top-ups. Repairs on existing R410A systems remain legal though it’s worth bearing in mind when planning ahead.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection
Healthcare premises near Princess Alexandra Hospital need air conditioning that is easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.

Different systems, different jobs
Offices
Office cooling has to cope with people, computers, lighting and sunshine. We size the system for the actual heat load with units that fit the layout.
Server and comms rooms
Adding a second unit gives resilience and we can explain how they would work together.
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Foster Street
Do you cover Foster Street for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Foster Street is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Foster Street?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Foster Street holds about 5 listed buildings and structures. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Epping Forest council, typically the authority for Foster Street.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Every type of building has its own pattern and the plan reflects it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor and we can help before and after.
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.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time and each visit is recorded.
