Commercial air conditioning for Warborne

About our commercial air conditioning in Warborne

Every commercial job is commercial systems priced after survey. We look at the building, the people in it, the equipment and the hours it’s used, then send a fixed-price quote. So you know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs. If the problem is commercial systems near the end of their life and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, we can sort it out.

Around Warborne, there’s normally space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.

Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Warborne

Does sea air affect air conditioning in Warborne?

It can, as Warborne is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.

Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Warborne?

It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Forest South East Conservation Area takes in the middle of Warborne. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Warborne, usually New Forest council).

Can I do the refrigerant work myself?

The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.

How does the warranty work?

The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

Do you work in Warborne?

Yes. Our engineers work in Warborne, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

Does my building need a TM44 inspection?

At over 12 kW, inspections are due at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.

How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?

Commercial systems are priced after a site survey. The cost depends on the size of the space, the system and how the work is phased and the quote is fixed before we begin.

What commercial air conditioning cannot fix

We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
  • Building work beyond the installation itself
  • Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf

If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Where we work

  • Server and comms room cooling
  • Wall-mounted split systems
  • VRF systems
  • Ceiling cassettes
  • Ducted systems
  • Multi-split systems

Before you call an engineer

Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.

For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

Cooling for Warborne businesses

The coast is only about 2 miles from Warborne. Salt air shortens the life of unprotected outdoor coils, so coastal commercial systems need the right kit and regular servicing. There are about 39 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 7 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Warborne, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.

Healthcare premises near Lymington New Forest Hospital need air conditioning that’s easy to clean and maintained on a schedule. Schools such as Southlands School usually have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

What the work involves, system by system

Ducted systems

A ducted system hides the indoor unit and feeds air to the room through grilles. They suit spaces where a visible unit is not wanted, such as hotels, restaurants and shops.

Hotels and schools

In hotels, each room needs its own control, and work has to fit around guests. We phase the work floor by floor where necessary.

How the visit works

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 a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Warborne.

  1. An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
  2. We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
  3. The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
  4. The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
  5. We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.

How to prepare

  • Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
  • Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
  • Let us know where we can park and unload

Getting a price
