Commercial air conditioning in Locks Heath
Commercial systems are commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, then send a fixed-price quote. That way the system fits the site and the price is clear before work starts. If you are dealing with fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and leak check schedules that have slipped, we can help.
Around Locks Heath, many businesses choose systems that heat as well as cool, which can replace old heaters in shops and offices.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. 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.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Locks Heath
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Locks Heath?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Locks Heath is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Does being near the sea make a difference to commercial air conditioning in Locks Heath?
It can. Locks Heath is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
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.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How long does a commercial installation take?
A typical installation takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Out-of-hours and phased work can spread the programme but keeps the business running.
Will I need planning permission?
It depends on the system and the property. In England, an air source heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, while a unit that only cools is not covered and needs checking with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
- Fire risk assessments
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- VRF systems
- Server and comms room cooling
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
When to call us in Locks Heath
Heat builds up in commercial spaces from occupants, equipment, lighting and sunshine, and opening windows doesn’t always help. A system sized for the real heat load deals with it.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Buildings that cannot close for the work
- Server rooms running too warm
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
If you look after a church or hall such as St John, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.
Before booking anyone
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included

How it works
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 anything electrical is made safe before work starts.

We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Locks Heath can be done in one go where possible.

- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
