Commercial air conditioning in Headington Hill
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 do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer.
Around Headington Hill, commercial jobs are typically a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Most need one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Advice
Owner checks or an engineer?
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Don’t let servicing slip
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
Once the system is commissioned, we hand over the records, the controls and the manufacturer documents. Keep them together for future servicing and inspections.
A maintenance contract keeps servicing and F-gas checks on schedule. The schedule and cost are fixed up front.

Different systems, different jobs
Offices
Meeting rooms and open-plan areas often need separate control, which VRF and multi-split systems can provide.
Shops and restaurants
Dining areas fill and empty over the course of service, so the system and its controls need to respond.

FAQs for Headington Hill
Do you cover Headington Hill for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Headington Hill is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Is air conditioning in Headington Hill permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Headington Hill Conservation Area takes in the middle of Headington Hill. 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 Oxford City council, which is normally the planning authority for Headington Hill.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
At over 12 kW, inspections are due at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
Wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF or VRV systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
