Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Great Bardfield
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out; we are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. The work covers multi-split systems, ducted systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about older systems that can’t keep up and R410A systems getting dearer to top up.
Around Great Bardfield, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Great Bardfield can be planned properly.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Great Bardfield: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in Great Bardfield need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Great Bardfield sits inside the Great Bardfield 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 Great Bardfield, usually Braintree council).
Do you cover smaller places like Great Bardfield?
Yes. Great Bardfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
How long does a commercial installation take?
Expect it to take a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. The size of the building, the system and any phasing make the biggest difference and the programme comes with your quote.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
Operators of systems from 5 tCO2e upwards need leak checks and records. The intervals are at least yearly from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and 6-monthly from 50 to under 500 tCO2e, and we can handle both.
What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of any existing system
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier, and we will talk you through it.
Before you get in touch
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
