Commercial Aircon Service in the UK – Things to Consider When Hiring Experts

December 26 2024by Maximum Climate Control

It is now commonplace for UK commercial properties to have air conditioners with the aircon market projected to grow to $315BN. Commercial ACs are more common than domestic ones. Offices, restaurants, hotels, malls, server rooms and even beauty salons have them for improved air quality and a comfortable temperature.

Commercial ACs are comparatively more complex and dynamic than domestic ones. Hence, when it comes to air conditioning commercial services in the UK, businesses must keep up with the best hiring practices for a roundabout solution. The type of AC systems, ductwork and connectivity, preventive maintenance, and regulatory compliances are all included in the service. Get an insight into this article published by Maximum Climate Control to raise general awareness and conscious decisions about commercial AC service and maintenance.

Catering to your Air Conditioning Commercial Service Needs

Toshiba and Daikin are the most sought-after brands in the UK markets for sophisticated commercial air conditioners. Maximum Climate Control is a premier partner of both brands and many others. What makes our multivariate dealership more useful for commercial property owners is that we can recognise and work with a wider range of devices, systems, and integrated technology by different brands, all in one place.

The layout of the air conditioning commercial service is determined by the type of machine you have. This is a list of the most common systems installed in London and other parts of the UK.

• Ducted Air Conditioning/Ceiling Mounted

These systems are more commonly installed in new hotels, schools, and leisure centres with wide open spaces. Ceiling-mounted ACs come with just one outdoor unit. They can heat and cool (unless they are cooling-only devices) multiple rooms and zones (thanks to VRV technology).

The main draw of these systems is the concealed look. Cleaning the ducts and filters is a big part of ducted commercial aircon servicing. Professional services ensure maximum safety, planned maintenance and optimal efficiency.

• Wall-Mounted/Ductless

More common in homes, many small offices, small restaurants and meeting rooms would have ACs that come with a host of features for more targeted cooling. The Daikin Emura is a popular brand we work with. Some of the most common commercial AC service needs for wall-mounted equipment are preventing water leaks from the condensate drain and mounting issues in damp walls.

• Heat Recovery Systems

These systems absorb waste energy from busy spaces and improve heat exchange efficiency by reducing heat load. We widely work with Daikin’s VAM-FC/J Series Heat Recovery Systems, which are more familiar in London as a VRV interactive device.

• VRV/VRF

Daikin was the first brand to introduce the use of variable refrigerant flow control for multi-split type air conditioning. The most significant feature allows individual climate control for separate zones in a single space. Daikin’s sophisticated systems can connect up to 64 indoor units to one single system and operate as one. We at Maximum Climate Control, with our commercial aircon service do our best to ensure the optimal performance of the integrated infrastructure.

• Air Source Heat Pump Service

Specially designed compressors circulate a refrigerant through copper or aluminium coils and extract heat from the air outside to transfer it into your house. ASHPs can both heat and cool. We widely work with Daikin’s ASHP systems in London and surrounding areas. Ideal for eco-conscious commercial spaces.

Accreditations to Follow When Hiring Commercial Aircon Service Providers

When hiring commercial aircon service providers in the UK, make sure that you partner with certified engineers. Certifications work as a mark of trust that the engineer is experienced in handling F-Gas refrigerants and other components and carries out electrical work safely. Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), CHAS, and CHAS Elite are some of the most dependable authoritative bodies to offer certifications. Maximum Climate Control has all that. We are also NICEIC and MCS-approved contractors.

Planned Maintenance in Commercial AC Servicing

We at Maximum Climate Control offer a wide range of parameters under our “Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)” programme for air conditioning commercial service in the UK. It is a comprehensive plan to optimise the longevity of your equipment and keep your systems up to date with the latest commercial AC regulations and compliance as per British or EU standards. The more you take this service at regular intervals, the less you will have emergencies and unplanned expenditures. Below are some of the key parameters we cover:

• Initial Inspection and Testing: From low refrigerant, energy consumption and faults in any components and the TM44 inspections – a scheduled inspection is the best way to have a stable AC solution in your workplace.
• Condenser And Evaporator Coils Checking: Being the vital components in the heat exchange process, the condenser and evaporator coil attract dirt and debris. This buildup must be cleaned regularly; otherwise, it will reduce the cooling capacity.
• Thermostats: The PPM programme also includes thermostat calibration and ensures that they respond to preset temperatures.
• Environmental Maintenance: Cleaning the copper or aluminium coils, ducts (for ducted ACs), filters and tray, and performing anti-bacterial cleaning of the entire system. Cleaning and washing the casings of indoor and outdoor units with a biocide cleaner is especially important for the outdoor units’ longevity in salty environments.
• F Gas: Always perform refrigerant leak tests based on the size of the system and relevant data in the site F-Gas logbook.

Choose the Right Commercial AC Service in London – When Partner Dealers Make More Sense Than Brand Servicing

When hiring commercial AC services in London, businesses often have a dynamic ecosystem with different types of equipment and integrated systems; certified dealers make more sense. Why? Because they cover the entire periphery, involving equipment manufactured by different brands. Brand servicing will just concentrate on in-house manufactured products.

As independent contractors, we at Maximum Climate Control provide you with unparalleled benefits. We are premier partners of Daikin, Toshiba, Samsung and many other brands. We are your best resource to have roundabout air conditioning commercial service and maintenance at reasonable service charges that are “approved” by brands like Daikin or Toshiba for their commercial ducted air conditioning systems in London, ensuring your system operates smoothly year-round.
