Commercial air conditioning in The Frenches

Aftercare tips

So the system stays in good health:

  • Keep a log for each system
  • Diary TM44 inspections in advance
  • Do not wait for small faults to become breakdowns

If the system needs F-gas leak checks, we diary the first one and we can cover it under a contract.

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

About our commercial air conditioning in The Frenches

Once a system is in, it needs looking after. A maintenance contract keeps servicing and leak checks on schedule, with the records kept up to date with the cost agreed up front. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. The work covers VRF systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are commercial systems near the end of their life and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation.

If you run a village hall or similar building near The Frenches, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.

Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Before you call an engineer

On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

When to call us in The Frenches

For hospitality, comfort is part of the experience. Dining rooms, bedrooms and function rooms all have different patterns of use and that shapes the system and the controls.

Customers typically contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
  • F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
  • Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation

If you look after a church or hall such as Church of All Saints, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

Questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in The Frenches.

  1. An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
  2. The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
  3. The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
  4. We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
  5. The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
  • Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
  • Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

The Frenches questions

Do you cover The Frenches for commercial air conditioning?

Yes. The Frenches is one of the places we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.

What’s the best way to get a price for commercial air conditioning in The Frenches?

The easiest way is to ring us on 07833 053749 with a few details and pictures. Where photos aren’t enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.

Which accreditations do you hold?

F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.

Can I do the refrigerant work myself?

Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.

Can you work around our opening hours?

Yes, we plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs to keep disruption down. We set out the timing before work starts.

Do you provide F-Gas records?

Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.

What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?

The operator and the service technicians share responsibility. The operator needs to arrange leak checks and keep records where the system requires them, and we provide both.

From one of our customers

“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.”
