Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Letchworth
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. Typical jobs include ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and offices that get too hot in summer, on multi-split systems, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Restaurant and café kitchens in a town like Letchworth gain heat fast from cooking, which means sizing for the heat and positioning units away from grease.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Most visits to homes in Letchworth are booked for a weekday, with businesses fitted around trading.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Advice
Rented and managed buildings
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
Safe owner checks
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. For systems at or over 5 tCO2e, they’re required.

Letchworth: your questions answered
Can I get a fixed-price quote for commercial air conditioning in Letchworth?
The easiest way is to give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details and photos. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Letchworth?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Letchworth is in the Letchworth 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 needed, we check with North Hertfordshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Letchworth.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
We install wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
