How we handle commercial air conditioning in Heart's Delight

Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. We plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs, so the building keeps running. The timing is set out with your quote. If the problem is comms rooms without enough cooling and offices that get too hot in summer, we can sort it out.

For a hall or similar building near Heart's Delight, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.

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. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Heart's Delight

Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.

What owners can safely do

For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

Heart's Delight questions

Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Heart's Delight?

That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Derringstone Conservation Area, close to central Heart's Delight. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Canterbury City council, which is normally the planning authority for Heart's Delight.

Will you come out to Heart's Delight?

Yes. Heart's Delight is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?

The inspection itself must be done by an accredited energy assessor. Our part is getting the system ready and doing the follow-up work.

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.

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.

Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?

The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.

A bursar or site manager at a school like Barham Church of England Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that. If you look after a church or hall such as Church of St John the Baptist, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

What we do, step by step

Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. For a village like Heart's Delight, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
  2. A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
  3. Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where needed.
  4. We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
  5. Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.

Preparing for the visit

  • Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
  • Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
  • Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Getting a price

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Advice

What the work involves, system by system

Offices

Offices gain heat from occupants, equipment and the sun. The system is sized for what the space really needs and choose units that suit the ceiling and layout.

F-gas records and TM44

TM44 inspections are done by accredited energy assessors. We are not assessors, but we prepare the system and carry out the improvements the report recommends.

From one of our customers

“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
