Commercial air conditioning in Surbiton

Commercial air conditioning in Surbiton, done properly

The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. If you’re dealing with buildings that can’t close for the work and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, we can sort it out.

In a London area like Surbiton, commercial air conditioning goes into offices, shops, restaurants and server rooms, often in shared buildings. So landlord consent, plant positions and noise all need agreeing first, and installs are often done out of hours.

Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Looking after your system

Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:

  • Call about warning signs straight away
  • Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
  • Don’t let servicing slip

Once the system is commissioned, we hand over the records, the controls and the manufacturer documents. They’ll be needed for servicing, leak checks and TM44 inspections.

Replace ageing systems on your own timetable especially where top-up refrigerant is getting harder to buy.

Business air conditioning in Surbiton

There are about 303 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 11 hotels and guest houses and about 37 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Surbiton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. The 2021 Census found about 67% of households live in flats. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.

Schools such as Lime Tree Primary School normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty. If you look after a church or hall such as St Mark's Church, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

What we do, step by step

We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Let us know who controls access to the building in Surbiton, as that saves time on the day.

  1. We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
  2. We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
  3. The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
  4. The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
  5. Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
  • Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
  • Let us know where the consumer unit is

What the work involves, system by system

F-gas records and TM44

The operator of a system at or above 5 tCO2e must have it leak checked and keep records. We carry out the checks and provide the records.

VRF and VRV systems

VRF systems hold more refrigerant than small splits so leak checks and records often apply. We calculate the tCO2e and plan the checks.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Surbiton

Can you do commercial air conditioning in Surbiton?

Yes. Surbiton is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.

Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Surbiton?

Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.

What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?

Splits, multi-splits, cassettes, ducted units and VRF from leading brands. We explain the options after a site survey.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.

How quickly will you reply?

You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?

TM44 inspections are carried out by accredited energy assessors, which we are not. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.

Let and managed properties

Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.

Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

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.”
