Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Horndon on the Hill
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. Typical jobs include IT rooms that need resilient cooling and changes of use that need a new layout, across wall-mounted split systems, server and comms room cooling and ceiling cassettes.
Around Horndon on the Hill, there’s normally space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep a log for each system
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
For systems that require leak checks, the first date goes in the diary and we can cover it under a contract.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort and correct settings avoid it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Common questions in Horndon on the Hill
Is air conditioning in Horndon on the Hill permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Horndon on the Hill Conservation Area is close to the centre of Horndon on the Hill. 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Horndon on the Hill, typically Thurrock council).
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Horndon on the Hill?
It can, as Horndon on the Hill is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Does servicing affect my 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.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
At over 12 kW, inspections are due at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor does the inspection, and we can carry out the recommended work.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can you work around our opening hours?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Shops, offices, restaurants and schools all have different needs, and we plan for them.
Different systems, different jobs
