Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. 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.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Hemsted
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 handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. If the problem is installs that must fit around trading hours and work raised by a TM44 inspection, we can sort it out.
Around Hemsted, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fire strategy sign-off
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
- Structural alterations to the building
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems

Hemsted: your questions answered
Is Hemsted within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is Hemsted in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Hemsted is one of the places we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few photos.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically 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.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
When to call us in Hemsted
Restaurants and hotels need comfortable rooms for guests and staff. Each area has its own hours and heat load, which affects the type of system and controls we’d suggest.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
If you look after a school such as Stowting Church of England Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.
Comparing quotes
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
