Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Sway
Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. We plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before work begins. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and server and comms room cooling, and common reasons people get in touch are fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down.
Around Sway, commercial jobs are typically a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Most need one to four indoor units, and we size them from a survey.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Acting as the energy assessor
- Getting landlord or building owner approval
- Fire strategy sign-off
If you are not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Sway
Is Sway in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Sway falls inside our working area. To start, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Sway?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Sway holds about 3 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 is not 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 New Forest council, which is typically the planning authority for Sway.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How the visit works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Around Sway, access is usually simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
For landlords and property managers
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
