Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Merle Common
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- How many units are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of any existing system
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
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.
Questions from Merle Common
Do you cover smaller places like Merle Common?
Yes. Merle Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Merle Common?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Merle Common. 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 Merle Common, normally Tandridge council).
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Merle Common and across Surrey. Let us know who the records should go to.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. The number of zones, the type of system, access and timing all play a part.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
- Getting landlord or building owner approval
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think.
