Commercial air conditioning in Piccotts End, done properly
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor; we’re not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and server and comms room cooling, and people most often call us about installs that must fit around trading hours and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Piccotts End, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What happens if it’s left?
In a comms room, losing the cooling can soon become serious. Designing in a backup unit or reviewing the existing set-up is worth doing before anything goes wrong. Booking before summer means the work in Piccotts End is done before the hot weather.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Work in Piccotts End is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
Piccotts End questions
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Piccotts End?
We do: Piccotts End falls inside our working area. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few pictures.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Piccotts End?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Piccotts End is in the Piccotts End Conservation Area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Piccotts End, typically Dacorum council) when it matters.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
Commercial systems are priced after a site survey. The building, the heat load, the system type and the programme all affect the cost, and you get a fixed-price quote before work starts.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we are not assessors. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.

Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
