Commercial air conditioning in Runcorn
We design, install, service and repair commercial air conditioning and ventilation across Runcorn, and handle the F-gas leak checks and TM44 inspections larger systems need.
Typical prices in Runcorn: a single split from £1,395 installed and a service visit from £170 for the first indoor unit, both plus VAT.
Where we work around Runcorn
In Runcorn, typical commercial premises include town-centre shops and offices, surgeries, gyms and units on business parks. Warrington is about 12 km away.
That includes premises in WA7 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Widnes, Halewood and Huyton.
In Runcorn we work with offices, shops and hospitality premises, from a single room to a whole floor; each job starts with a heat load check rather than a guess from the floor area.
Businesses across Cheshire can combine servicing with any F-gas leak checks their systems need, which saves a separate attendance.

What to think about in Runcorn
Leased premises
If your Runcorn premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Working hours
Most Runcorn businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
