How we price commercial air conditioning
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- What electrical work the job needs
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, these details help:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms, and each one gets a system chosen for how the space is used.

Common questions in Luddesdown
Do you cover Luddesdown for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Luddesdown falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Luddesdown?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Luddesdown. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Luddesdown, usually Gravesham council).
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator must make sure leak checks are done where required and records are kept and we handle that for you.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
We install wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Why deal with it now?
A well-planned programme lets the building stay open while the work goes on. Waiting for a failure removes that choice. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.

What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Luddesdown.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Advice
Do you need commercial air conditioning in Luddesdown?
The GB phase-down is reducing HFC supply, so refrigerants like R410A are getting scarcer and dearer for top-ups. Servicing and repairing R410A systems is still allowed, but it’s a factor when planning a replacement.
What we’re most often called about:
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
- Fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
For a school like Meopham School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.
Comparing quotes
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
