About our commercial air conditioning in Hunton
Where equipment generates heat around the clock, the cooling has to keep pace. We look at the heat load and how the room is used, and can discuss backup units so one failure doesn’t take everything down. If the problem is fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and commercial systems near the end of their life, we can sort it out.
Around Hunton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Hunton
Is Hunton in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Hunton falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
Do you cover smaller places like Hunton?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will I need planning permission?
That depends on what’s being fitted and where. Heat pumps on houses in England can be permitted development when they meet set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, so check with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can you install out of hours?
We do: evening, weekend and phased installation are all possible to keep disruption down. The programme is agreed with your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out and we can help before and after.
Cooling for Hunton businesses
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hunton. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 37 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary (grade I). That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling is not covered at all, so we check with Maidstone council, typically the planning authority here where needed.
If you look after a church or hall such as St Mary's Church, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
A single ducted unit can feed several grilles where the layout allows.
Server and comms rooms
Server rooms generate heat all day and night, so the cooling has to run continuously. We size the system on the heat load.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Visits to Hunton 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where we can park and unload

When to call us in Hunton
Older systems running on R410A face rising costs for top-ups as the GB HFC phase-down tightens supply. Repairs on existing R410A systems remain legal though it’s worth bearing in mind when planning ahead.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Oakwood Hospital (about 3.7 miles north) normally want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.
