Safe owner checks
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Commercial air conditioning in Shortgate, done properly
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR, so the building works as a whole. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down.
For a business near Shortgate, outdoor units normally have room at the back of the building.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Different systems, different jobs
Hotels and schools
Hotel bedrooms need individual control and quiet running, and work has to fit around guests. Phased installation keeps rooms available.
Ducted systems
The unit needs room in the void and an access hatch for filters, drain and fan to be serviced.
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. For a place like Shortgate, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Questions from Shortgate
Do you cover Shortgate for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Shortgate is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
What’s the best way to get a price for commercial air conditioning in Shortgate?
The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us with a few details and pictures. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the job, but as a guide it takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. We will give you a firmer idea when we quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time and each visit is recorded.
