About our commercial air conditioning in Southgate
The right system depends on the building. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. Common call-outs are for older systems that can’t keep up and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection, across ducted systems, multi-split systems and VRF systems.
For a business in Southgate, the legal side matters too: F-gas leak checks on larger systems, and TM44 inspections where total cooling output is over 12 kW. We keep the records and tell you what’s due.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean 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.
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 or a short video of the display is even better.

Different systems, different jobs
Shops and restaurants
For a discreet finish, ducted systems and cassettes are popular.
Ducted systems
A ducted system hides the indoor unit and feeds air to the room through grilles. They suit spaces where a visible unit is not wanted, such as hotels, restaurants and shops.
How the visit works
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. If your building in Southgate has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Questions from Southgate
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Southgate?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Is air conditioning in Southgate permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 29 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Southgate. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Southgate, typically Enfield council).
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we’re happy to show ours.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
Splits, multi-splits, cassettes, ducted units and VRF from leading brands. We explain the options after a site survey.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Southgate
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
