About our commercial air conditioning in Great Baddow
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. Typical jobs include R410A systems getting dearer to top up and new tenancies needing cooling and heating, on server and comms room cooling, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes.
Around Great Baddow, commercial jobs are normally a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Most need one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Common questions in Great Baddow
Will you come out to Great Baddow?
Yes. Great Baddow is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Great Baddow in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Great Baddow is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. For breakdowns, there’s a 24/7 emergency line.
Can you install out of hours?
We do: evening, weekend and phased installation are all possible so the business keeps running. The programme is agreed with your quote.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Great Baddow
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
