Commercial Heating
Businesses can implement a variety of different commercial heating solutions, including the following:
Air Source Heat Pumps
An air source heat pump takes heat from the air outside and uses it to warm up the property. This is a highly efficient method of heating, as it doesn’t require a lot of energy to run.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
A ground source heat pump works similarly to an air source heat pump, but it takes heat from the ground instead of the air. This can be more efficient, as the ground temperature is usually more consistent than the air temperature.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating is a type of radiant heating that warms up the floor from underneath. This can be a very efficient way of heating requiring little energy to run.
Boilers
Boilers are a common type of commercial heating, as they can be used to heat large premises quickly and easily. There are a variety of different types of boilers available, including but not limited to
Historically, boilers have been the main heating method installed in businesses. However, greener and more efficient heating methods like air/ground source heat pumps and biomass boilers are becoming more popular.Â
Government grants, like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, are also making switching to greener energy more attractive for business owners who can receive £7,500 towards these more sustainable heating systems.
Commercial Cooling
There are also a variety of different cooling methods that businesses can implement, including the following:
Air Conditioning
Air conditioning is a common type of commercial cooling, as it can be used to cool down large premises quickly and easily. AC units work by circulating cool air around the property.
Evaporative Coolers
Evaporative coolers work by evaporating water to create a cooling effect. This can be a very efficient way of cooling, as it doesn’t require a lot of energy to run.
Commercial Refrigeration
As well as cooling the space inside your premises, you may also need to cool items, such as food, drink, and medication. Commercial refrigeration allows you to keep items at specific cold temperatures so they don’t go off.
Commercial Heating and Cooling Maintenance
If you have heating and cooling systems on your property, it is important to maintain them properly. This includes regularly checking and servicing the systems, as well as replacing any parts that are worn out or broken.
If you don’t maintain your heating and cooling systems, they may break down when you need them the most. This can be a costly repair, so it is always best to keep on top of maintenance.
The Health and Safety Act 1974 requires employers to provide a safe working environment for their employees. This includes ensuring that the temperature is within a safe range, but also that all heating and cooling equipment is safe. It must be properly ventilated, without any faulty wiring or potentially hazardous gases.
Robinsons Facilities Services can keep your business safe and compliant.
Commercial Heating and Cooling Repairs
If you have a commercial heating or cooling system that needs repairing, it is important to find a reputable and experienced engineer. They will be able to diagnose the problem and carry out the necessary repairs.
Some examples of the kind of repairs you might require include:
Thermostat repair or replacement
The thermostat is a crucial component of any heating or cooling system. If it’s not functioning correctly, it can cause issues with temperature control and energy efficiency. Repairing or replacing a faulty thermostat can help ensure that the system operates correctly.
Air filter replacement
The air filter is responsible for removing dust and debris from the air before it enters the heating or cooling system. If the filter becomes clogged, it can cause the system to work harder than necessary and can reduce its efficiency. Replacing the air filter regularly is a simple but essential repair that can prevent more significant issues from occurring.
Compressor repair or replacement
The compressor is a critical component of the cooling system. It compresses the refrigerant gas and moves it through the system to cool the air. If the compressor is not working correctly, the system will not be able to produce cold air. Repairing or replacing a faulty compressor is a significant repair that should be handled by a professional.
Ductwork repair or replacement
The ductwork is responsible for distributing hot or cold air throughout the building. If there are leaks or damage to the ductwork, it can cause the system to work inefficiently and can result in uneven heating or cooling. Repairing or replacing damaged ductwork can help improve the efficiency of the system and improve comfort levels for building occupants.
Boiler repair
Boilers are commonly used in commercial buildings to provide heat. Over time, boilers may develop issues, such as leaks or malfunctioning components. Repairing boilers or replacing faulty components can help ensure the system operates safely and efficiently.
These are just a few examples of the many commercial heating and cooling repairs that may be required over time.

Commercial Heating and Cooling FAQs
There is no simple answer to which heating type is best as there are a variety of different methods to heat a building. Factors such as efficiency as well as the capacity to heat the whole building should be considered.
Commercial buildings use HVAC systems, including air conditioners, commercial boilers, and other heating systems to keep their premises warm or cool throughout the year.
A commercial heating system works in a very similar way to a residential one but often on a bigger scale. A heating element in a boiler uses fuel to heat water that is then circulated through the building to provide warmth.
Usually, this comes down to capacity. Larger boilers can heat water for more people, as may well be needed in a commercial setting. One boiler system or a series of smaller boilers may be used.
Yes, we offer comprehensive packages that include installation, preventative maintenance plans, and 24/7 emergency repair services to ensure your business stays comfortable year-round.
We recommend regular preventative maintenance, typically annually for heating systems and bi-annually for combined heating and cooling systems. This helps prevent breakdowns, extends equipment life, and optimises efficiency.
The cost of commercial heating and cooling services can start from as little as £250+VAT per annum with a Planned Preventative Maintenance contract. Contact us for a free quote for your business.
