Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Old Tree
Where equipment generates heat around the clock, the cooling has to keep pace. We look at the heat load and how the room is used, and can discuss backup units so one failure does not take everything down. The work covers multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and people most often call us about TM44 recommendations that need acting on and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer.
For a business near Old Tree, outdoor units normally have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Work in Old Tree is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Old Tree
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Old Tree?
It depends on the property. Central Old Tree sits inside the Ford, Maypole and Oldtree Conservation Area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not 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 Old Tree, normally Canterbury City council).
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Old Tree?
It can, as Old Tree is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time and every visit is recorded.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
How the job changes from property to property
Server and comms rooms
Planned maintenance is especially important for continuous cooling and we can cover it under a contract.
F-gas records and TM44
TM44 inspections are done by accredited energy assessors. We do not inspect, but we get systems ready and do the follow-up work.
Why act early in Old Tree
A system that cannot cope on the hottest days affects everyone in the building. It’s far easier to plan new work in the cooler months than to scramble when it’s hot. Planning ahead for a job in Old Tree means we can bring everything needed.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Warranty terms set out brand by brand
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote
- MCS certified heat pump installers
- We reply to enquiries the same working day

Owner checks or an engineer?
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
