Commercial air conditioning in Rudgwick, 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. If the problem is ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and workspaces that overheat on warm days, we can sort it out.
Around Rudgwick, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Common problems we fix in Rudgwick
Offices and shops often gain heat from people, lighting, computers and sun through the windows and windows alone can’t always shift it. A system sized for the real heat load deals with it.
Customers usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
For a school like Rudgwick Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Rudgwick.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

What happens if it’s left?
Small faults in a commercial system can spread to the whole building’s comfort. Planned maintenance catches issues before they grow, and keeps the system running the way it was designed to. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.

Different systems, different jobs
Server and comms rooms
IT equipment produces heat around the clock, so the cooling has to run continuously. We size the system on the heat load.
F-gas records and TM44
Good records make both F-gas audits and TM44 inspections easier, and we keep yours in order.
Questions from Rudgwick
Is Rudgwick in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Rudgwick is part of that. To start, call 07833 053749 with a few photos.
Can I fit air conditioning in Rudgwick without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Rudgwick holds about 29 listed buildings and structures. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Horsham council, which is normally the planning authority for Rudgwick.
How long does a commercial installation take?
Expect it to take as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. The scale and programme decide most of it and the programme comes with your quote.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
