Common questions in Hothfield
Is Hothfield within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Hothfield?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Hothfield. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to Ashford council, which is normally the planning authority for Hothfield when it matters.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK, and we can help you prepare.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes, and we tailor the schedule to the system and how hard it works. There’s also a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.

Installation is only the start. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them, at a price fixed with your quote. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. If the problem is workspaces that overheat on warm days and installs that must fit around trading hours, we can sort it out.
For a business near Hothfield, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building.

Commercial air conditioning in Hothfield: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Hothfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms.
For a school like The Hayesbrook School, air conditioning work is best done out of term. If you look after a church or hall such as Church of St Margaret, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

What else we do in Hothfield
Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Boiler installation or repair
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems

What the work involves, system by system
Shops and restaurants
For a discreet finish, ducted systems and cassettes are popular.
Hotels and schools
In hotels, each room needs its own control, and work has to fit around guests. We phase the work floor by floor where needed.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Visits to Hothfield are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
