When was the last time your commercial air conditioning system was serviced?
If you’re unsure—or it’s been more than a year—it’s time to take action. Regular air conditioning servicing isn’t just about comfort; it’s about energy efficiency, compliance, health, and protecting your business from costly repairs.
At ProActive Commercial Maintenance, we help businesses across the UK stay cool, compliant, and cost-efficient with expert air con servicing. Here are 5 reasons why regular air conditioning maintenance should be a priority in your commercial property maintenance plan.
1. Improve Energy Efficiency and Reduce Costs
A poorly maintained air con unit has to work harder to achieve the same temperature. Over time, this results in higher energy bills, reduced efficiency, and avoidable strain on your system.
✅ Regular servicing ensures filters are clean, refrigerant levels are correct, and parts are working efficiently—helping you cut energy costs and carbon footprint.
2. Prevent Breakdowns and Expensive Repairs
Without servicing, dust, debris, and wear-and-tear accumulate inside your unit. That can lead to:
-
Reduced airflow
-
Frozen evaporator coils
-
Faulty thermostats
-
Complete system failure
A routine service catches small issues early, preventing major breakdowns that could disrupt your business.
3. Stay Compliant with UK Legislation
Commercial air conditioning systems in the UK are subject to specific regulations:
-
F-Gas Regulations – Systems with over 5 tonnes CO₂e of refrigerant require regular leak checks.
-
TM44 Energy Assessments – If your building has over 12kW of cooling, a TM44 inspection is required every 5 years.
Our engineers ensure your systems meet these legal obligations, keeping you compliant and audit-ready.
4. Protect Indoor Air Quality and Health
Your air con system doesn’t just cool the air—it circulates it. Without proper maintenance, it can become a breeding ground for:
-
Dust mites
-
Mould spores
-
Bacteria and allergens
This poses a risk to staff and visitors, especially those with respiratory conditions. Servicing helps ensure clean, healthy air and a safer working environment.
5. Extend the Life of Your Air Con System
Air conditioning systems are a significant investment. Regular servicing can extend the life of your unit by several years, delaying costly replacements and improving return on investment.
How Often Should You Service Your Air Conditioning?
As a general rule, we recommend servicing commercial air conditioning units at least twice a year—typically in spring and autumn. However, higher-usage environments (like server rooms or retail stores) may require more frequent maintenance.
