Where appearance matters, ducted or cassette units keep equipment out of sight.
Hotels and schools
In hotels, each room needs its own control and installation has to be planned around occupancy. We phase the work floor by floor where necessary.
Commercial air conditioning in Little Waltham
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. Common call-outs are for fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and buildings that can’t close for the work, on multi-split systems, ducted systems and VRF systems.
For a hall or similar building near Little Waltham, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What else we do in Little Waltham
After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
- Keep plant areas tidy
After commissioning, you get the F-gas records, handover notes and the manufacturer’s paperwork. Keep them together for future servicing and inspections.
A maintenance contract keeps servicing and F-gas checks on schedule. The schedule and cost are fixed up front.
Little Waltham: your questions answered
Is Little Waltham in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Little Waltham falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few pictures.
Will you come out to Little Waltham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission?
Not always. On a house, air-to-water heat pumps and, since 2025, air-to-air systems that heat as well as cool can be permitted development if they meet the conditions. Permission is more likely to come up for cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing positions in conservation areas and the survey picks it up. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Little Waltham.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Safe owner checks
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
