FAQs

Frequently asked questions about commercial air conditioning in Dorset

How much does commercial air conditioning cost?

The cost depends on the floor area, occupancy, heat from equipment and lighting, the number of zones and how much access work is involved. A small office with ceiling cassettes is a very different project from a multi-zone VRF system for a restaurant. We survey your premises in Bournemouth, Poole or elsewhere in Dorset, then give you an itemised quote.

Can you install air conditioning without closing my business?

Yes, in most cases. We plan the works in phases, zone by zone, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends so shops, offices and restaurants can keep trading. Noisy or dusty tasks, such as drilling for pipe runs, are scheduled when the space is quiet. We agree a programme with you before we start, so there are no surprises for staff or customers.

Do commercial units need planning permission?

Commercial outdoor units often need planning permission or landlord consent, especially in town centres, conservation areas and listed buildings. Councils may also ask for a noise assessment for units near homes. During the design stage we advise on where to position the units and what information the application needs, and we can help you prepare it.

What are the running costs of a commercial system?

Running costs depend on your operating hours, set temperatures and how well the system is zoned. VRF and heat-recovery systems can move heat between areas that need cooling and areas that need heating, which cuts energy use. Smart controls and timers stop empty rooms being conditioned. We select energy-conscious equipment and explain how to keep running costs low.

Do commercial systems need F-Gas checks?

Systems above certain refrigerant thresholds legally need periodic F-Gas leak checks, and the business must keep records of them. How often the checks are needed depends on the size of the system. Our commercial maintenance plans include the required leak checks and service logs, alongside planned servicing every six or three months to keep equipment reliable.

Can you provide ventilation as well as cooling?

Yes. Many premises need fresh air as well as temperature control, particularly busy offices, gyms and hospitality venues. We design commercial MVHR and heat-recovery ventilation alongside your air conditioning, sized to how many people use each space. For homes, see our domestic MVHR options. We can also link the system to your building controls.
