Commercial air con in How Green
We cover How Green for commercial air conditioning. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
- Older systems that cannot keep up
- Fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning
Looking after your system
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Involve us at the planning stage of a refurbishment
- Keep a log for each system
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
After commissioning, you get the F-gas records, handover notes and the manufacturer’s paperwork. Keep them together for future servicing and inspections.
Simple control settings help. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort, and we can help set them up.
About our commercial air conditioning in How Green
Where equipment generates heat around the clock, the cooling has to keep pace. The design accounts for the equipment’s heat and can include a second unit as backup, so a single fault doesn’t leave the room without cooling. The work covers VRF systems, ducted systems and server and comms room cooling, and the jobs we see most are fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and installs that must fit around trading hours.
If you run a village hall or similar building near How Green, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How the job changes from property to property
Server and comms rooms
A backup unit can keep the room cool if one fails and we can explain how they would work together.
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes sit in the ceiling and blow air in several directions. They’re common in offices, retail and dining areas where there’s a ceiling void.
Common questions in How Green
Will you come out to How Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit air conditioning in How Green without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of How Green is in a conservation area. 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 necessary, we check with Sevenoaks council, which is normally the planning authority for How Green.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK, and we can help you prepare.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Everything from wall-mounted units for single rooms to VRF or VRV systems serving whole buildings. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Visits to How Green are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a quote
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
A single system failure in a server room can quickly cause problems. Reviewing the cooling and adding resilience is best done in advance. Getting the date in early helps for a place like How Green.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
