How we handle commercial air conditioning in Thornhill
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. The work covers multi-split systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about server rooms running too warm and older systems that can’t keep up.
Around Thornhill, many businesses choose systems that heat as well as cool, useful where old heaters struggle.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Advice
FAQs for Thornhill
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Thornhill?
Yes, Thornhill is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will you come out to Thornhill?
Yes. Thornhill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes, and we tailor the schedule to the system and how hard it works. For breakdowns, there’s a 24/7 emergency line.

What affects the quote in Thornhill
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The size of the job
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.

Why act early in Thornhill
When the cooling cannot keep up, staff, customers and equipment all feel it. It’s far easier to plan new work in the cooler months than to scramble when it’s hot. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
