About our commercial air conditioning in Whitley Wood
There’s no single best commercial system. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. The work covers multi-split systems, server and comms room cooling and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are commercial systems near the end of their life and F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue.
Businesses near Whitley Wood often have room for outdoor units on the ground at the back, which keeps them tidy and easy to reach.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you, so you know what’s needed.
Simple control settings help. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem, and we can help set them up.

Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Whitley Wood
Older systems running on R410A face rising costs for top-ups as the GB HFC phase-down tightens supply. Repairs on existing R410A systems remain legal though it’s worth bearing in mind when planning ahead.
Customers normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
If you run a surgery, clinic or pharmacy in the area around Royal Berkshire Hospital, about 2.4 miles north, cleanable, quiet units and regular maintenance matter.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Whitley Wood

Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do I need planning permission?
Sometimes. The rules differ for heat pumps and cooling-only air conditioning, and for houses, flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We point out anything that may need permission at the survey, and the council has the final say. This is general information, not legal advice.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor and we can help before and after.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
