Commercial Air Conditioning in Lower Holloway
Commercial air conditioning in Lower Holloway from an F-Gas certified company, with warranty terms explained brand by brand. Enquiries answered the same working day.
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
- TM44 recommendations that need acting on
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
For landlords and property managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
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.
About our commercial air conditioning in Lower Holloway
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. If the problem is commercial systems near the end of their life and work raised by a TM44 inspection, we can help.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, Lower Holloway included, so condensers often go on roofs, in light wells or in plant rooms. VRF systems can serve many indoor units from a small number of outdoor units.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Commercial air conditioning around Lower Holloway
There are about 1,082 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 47 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 53 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central Lower Holloway, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. About 44% of homes in the Lower Holloway area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 83% of households live in flats. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
Schools such as Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty. Around Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station, an office brief might cover an open-plan floor, meeting rooms and a comms cupboard, each with its own needs.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Holloway
Where the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is due at least every 5 years. The recommendations often point to simple improvements, and we can carry out the work. In a London building, getting the freeholder’s or agent’s agreement can take a while, so it’s worth starting early.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Lower Holloway questions
Can I fit air conditioning in Lower Holloway without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Lower Holloway is in a conservation area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Lower Holloway, usually Islington council).
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Lower Holloway?
Normally, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we’re not assessors. We get the system ready and act on the findings.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Lower Holloway will be.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
