What you get
System types

The right system for the building

We specify from the building, its occupancy and its heat gains — then size to it. The result is a system that holds temperature in August without costing a fortune the rest of the year.

Single & multi-split

One condenser serving one or several indoor units — the workhorse for small offices, server rooms, shops and meeting rooms. Fast to install, simple to maintain.

VRF / VRV systems

Variable refrigerant flow across multi-floor or multi-tenant buildings, with independent zone control and heat recovery between zones that are cooling and heating at once.

Ducted & cassette

Concealed ceiling systems where aesthetics matter — open-plan offices, showrooms, hospitality and retail fit-outs.

Close control & server rooms

Continuously rated cooling for comms rooms and equipment spaces, with resilience and alarm options where downtime is not an option.

Large-volume & industrial

Cooling strategies for warehouses, production areas and other high-gain spaces where standard splits simply cannot keep up.

Heat recovery & free cooling

Where the building allows, we design in heat recovery and free cooling so you are not paying to cool one zone while heating another.

Why it matters commercially

A cooling spec is now a compliance document

Under Regulation 7 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 every UK employer must keep indoor workplace temperatures “reasonable”. There is no fixed upper limit yet — but the pressure for one is building, and tribunals already look at what an employer knew and what they did about it.

That changes what a commercial AC specification is for. It is no longer only a comfort decision: it is evidence that the duty-holder acted.

How a commercial install runs

Surveyed, designed, installed, maintained

1

Site survey

We measure the space, occupancy, glazing, orientation and equipment gains, and review your existing plant, electrics and access constraints.

2

Design & fixed proposal

A heat-gain-based design with unit schedule, indicative running costs, programme and a fixed price. No provisional sums hiding in the small print.

3

Installation

F-Gas registered installation, worked around your operating hours where needed. RAMS issued in advance; site rules and permits respected.

4

Commission & maintain

Full commissioning, O&M documentation, warranty registration and handover training — then a PPM schedule so it stays that way.

Sectors

Premises we work in

Offices & professional services

Open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms — quiet, zoned and controllable, with the paperwork FMs need.

Retail & hospitality

Front-of-house comfort with back-of-house resilience, installed around trading hours.

Warehouse & light industrial

High-volume, high-gain spaces where duty of care is hardest to satisfy and the case for action is strongest.

Schools, academies & MATs

Procurement-ready quotes and documentation, installed in holiday windows.

Care homes

Reliable temperature control for vulnerable occupants, evidenced and maintained.

Landlords & managing agents

Multi-site upgrades, planned replacement programmes and consistent maintenance across a portfolio.

Common questions

Commercial air conditioning FAQ

Most commercial installs land between £4,000 and £25,000+, driven by the number of zones, the system type and the difficulty of the pipe and cable runs. A small office of two or three cassettes sits at the lower end; a VRF system across several floors sits well above it. We give a fixed price after survey.

A split is one outdoor unit to one indoor unit. A multi-split runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit on a shared circuit. VRF (variable refrigerant flow) is a larger, modular system that serves many indoor units with independent control and, on heat-recovery versions, moves heat from zones that are cooling to zones that need warming.

Yes. Retail, hospitality and occupied offices are routinely installed evenings, weekends or in shutdown periods. Say so at survey and we price it in rather than surprising you later.

Yes — risk assessments and method statements, public and employer liability cover, and F-Gas registration evidence are issued as standard. For tenders we can supply a full PQQ pack.

Systems containing fluorinated gases carry legal obligations on the operator, including leak checking above certain charge sizes and record keeping. We register the system, set the correct leak-check interval and can hold the records for you under a PPM contract.

Usually yes. We survey the existing plant, report on condition and any compliance gaps, then quote to bring it onto a maintenance schedule.
