Commercial air conditioning in Tilehurst, done properly
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, at a price fixed with your quote. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. If the problem is new tenancies needing cooling and heating and server rooms running too warm, we can help.
Around Tilehurst, commercial jobs are typically a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Most need one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Tilehurst
For hospitality, comfort is part of the experience. Dining rooms, bedrooms and function rooms all have different patterns of use, which affects the type of system and controls we’d suggest.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- TM44 recommendations that need acting on
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
Churches and halls such as Tilehurst Methodist Church are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.

Tilehurst: your questions answered
Do you cover Tilehurst for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Tilehurst falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning in Tilehurst without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Tilehurst. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t 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 the local planning authority (for Tilehurst, normally Reading council).
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor does the inspection, and we can carry out the recommended work.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
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. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Because we plan from pictures or a survey, a job in Tilehurst can normally be finished in one visit.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
