Penzance and surrounding areas
Most commercial premises in and around Penzance are shops, offices, salons, pubs and small industrial units.
That includes premises in TR18 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Camborne, Redruth and Falmouth. In Penzance, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.

Local points to consider
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Working hours
Most Penzance businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Leased premises
If your Penzance 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.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.

Which postcodes do you cover in Penzance?
All of them, including TR18. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
What does N+1 mean?
One more unit than you need. If one fails, the other can carry the load while it is repaired.
Why not use the office air conditioning?
Office systems switch off out of hours and are sized for people, not equipment that runs 24/7. A dedicated system is more reliable and cheaper to run.
