Each system has its benefits, but really it will come down to the area to be controlled, how the area will be used and what budget you have to work with. This is something one of our estimators can provide guidance on once have assessed your requirements.
No, we do not charge for quotations on new equipment installations. For service maintenance quotes, a standard service callout may fee apply, as we may need to visit your site and inspect the equipment to identify the problem.

Like any piece of machinery, your climate control equipment needs to be maintained regularly to keep it in working at its optimum efficiency. We regularly find equipment which has not been maintained, with this leading to,
- Higher running costs
- Business interruption costs from the unexpected failure of equipment
- Shorter life span of equipment and
- Unexpected cost for the replacement or repair.
Preventative maintenance minimises all of these.
In some cases – Yes. Refer to your equipment warranty to check the specific details, but many items require servicing to continue the warranty to its full term.
Yes, we can service most brands of air conditioning unit. If you are unsure please contact our team to check if we can help.
For most commercial environments, air conditioning systems should be serviced at least quarterly to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
However, every facility and system is unique and it is important to work with our team of technicians develop your individual service and maintenance schedule.
R22 is a refrigerant that was commonly used in many older climate control systems. However, it has been classified as an ozone-depleting substance, and as part of international environmental protocols, the manufacture and import of R22 are being phased out. As the supply of R22 decreases, its cost is steadily rising.
If your system uses R22 and is well-maintained, there’s no immediate need for concern. However, if your system experiences a failure or requires R22 gas, it’s important to consider both the rising cost of repairs and whether it might be more cost-effective to replace the unit with a newer, more environmentally friendly system.

For commercial air conditioning systems, it’s generally recommended to clean or replace air filters every 3 to 6 months. However, the frequency can vary depending on the environment and usage. High-traffic areas or spaces with more dust, debris, or airborne particles—such as manufacturing facilities or retail spaces—may require more frequent filter changes. Regularly cleaning or replacing your filters is crucial to maintaining system efficiency and ensuring good indoor air quality. Our team can help advise on the best schedule for your specific setup.
Frequently Asked Questions about HVAC
An HVAC system stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It’s a comprehensive system designed to regulate temperature, control humidity, and improve air quality in commercial environments. HVAC systems typically include components such as heaters air conditioners, and ventilation systems that work together to maintain a comfortable and efficient indoor climate. At Air Four, we specialise in the installation, maintenance, and repair of commercial HVAC systems, ensuring they meet the unique needs of your business.

Improving your HVAC system’s efficiency can be achieved with a few key steps. First, establish a preventative maintenance routine with an HVAC specialist. Regular service and inspections ensure your system is operating efficiently and help prevent costly repairs in the future.
In addition to professional maintenance, you can improve your system efficiency by monitoring your system yourself. Keep a close eye on components such as air filters, air ducts, and thermostat settings. Regularly changing filters, checking for duct leaks, and using programmable thermostats can make a significant difference in energy efficiency and overall performance, keeping your facility comfortable year-round.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of the air inside buildings, particularly in relation to the health and comfort of the occupants. Good IAQ means that the air is free from pollutants such as dust, allergens, chemicals, and other contaminants, creating a safe and comfortable environment. Maintaining high indoor air quality is crucial for both well-being and productivity in commercial spaces.
- Inspecting the entire system for wear and tear
- Cleaning internal and external components
- Tightening screws, belts, and other parts that may have loosened
- Checking and adjusting refrigerant levels
- Straightening any bent fins
- Ensuring the fan is functioning properly
- Calibrating the thermostat if required
- Changing air filters
- Inspecting the ductwork for leaks or blockages
A commercial HVAC system consists of several critical components that work together to regulate temperature, air quality, and comfort throughout a building. Key components include:
- Air Handling Units (AHUs): Circulate and condition air throughout the building, sometimes mixing it with outdoor air to improve indoor air quality.
- Chillers: Remove heat from the building by using refrigerants to cool the air, which is then circulated by the AHUs.
- Boilers: Provide heating by using fuel to heat water, which is distributed through a system of pipes and radiators to warm the building.
- Cooling Towers: Expel heat by transferring it from the refrigerant to the outside air, assisting the chiller in removing excess heat.
- Ductwork and Vents: Ducts distribute conditioned air throughout the building, while vents allow for the intake of fresh air and the expulsion of stale air.
Each of these components plays a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment, making regular maintenance essential to ensure optimal performance.
