One of the most widely specified brands in UK commercial air conditioning. The Mitsubishi Electric MSZ and MXZ ranges are known for reliability, quiet operation, and energy efficiency. Well-suited to offices, retail, and multi-room commercial systems. We install the full Mitsubishi Electric range across Devon.
Daikin.
Daikin is one of the world’s largest air conditioning manufacturers. The Daikin Emura, Perfera, and Stylish ranges provide high-efficiency heating and cooling in a slim wall-mounted format. Daikin’s VRV systems are well-suited to larger commercial premises with multiple zones. We install Daikin systems across Newton Abbot, Exeter, Torbay, and the wider Devon area.
Panasonic.
Panasonic air conditioning systems are compact, highly efficient, and include nanoe-X air purification technology, which reduces airborne pollutants and odours as well as regulating temperature. A popular choice for offices, hospitality premises, and medical environments in Devon where air quality matters alongside comfort.
Toshiba.
Toshiba’s Shorai Edge and Haori ranges offer ultra-slim indoor units suited to retail and hospitality environments where aesthetics are important. Toshiba’s Suzumi Plus range provides strong performance in larger commercial spaces. We install Toshiba systems across Devon for commercial and industrial applications.
Worcester Bosch.

Well-suited to domestic properties and smaller commercial premises looking for a combined heating and cooling solution with a familiar brand.
Commercial air conditioning in Devon
For Devon businesses, air conditioning serves two purposes: keeping employees productive in summer and heating spaces efficiently in winter. Our commercial air conditioning installations cover:
- Offices and open-plan workspaces across Newton Abbot, Exeter, Torbay and Plymouth
- Retail premises, showrooms, and customer-facing environments
- Hospitality and tourism venues, hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities
- Industrial and warehouse environments requiring zoned climate control
- Medical, dental and healthcare premises where temperature consistency matters
- Educational facilities and conference rooms
We carry out a full survey before recommending any system. The survey assesses the floor area, ceiling height, existing ventilation, heat load from equipment and occupancy, and the building fabric. A correctly sized system is significantly more efficient than one that is oversized or undersized. Getting this right at the design stage is the most important part of a successful installation.
Domestic air conditioning in Devon
Home air conditioning in Devon has grown significantly as summers have become hotter and more humid. A wall-mounted split system provides quiet, efficient cooling in the rooms where it matters most, and heats in winter as a supplement or replacement for existing heating in individual rooms.
For Devon homeowners considering both air conditioning and solar panels, the two work well together. Solar generation during the day powers the air conditioning during peak heat hours, reducing the grid electricity the system draws. We design combined solar and air conditioning systems across Devon.
What an installation involves
A standard split system installation, covering one outdoor condenser unit and one or two indoor wall-mounted units, typically takes one day for a residential or small commercial property. The outdoor unit is mounted on an external wall or flat roof. The indoor units are fixed high on interior walls. Refrigerant pipework connects the two through a small core drilled through the wall, sealed and finished.
All electrical connection work is carried out by our in-house NICEIC-approved engineers. You do not need a separate electrician. We commission and test the system before handover and provide a clear demonstration of controls and settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Solar generation during daylight hours can power air conditioning during peak heat periods, reducing the grid electricity the system draws. We design combined solar and air conditioning systems across Devon and can carry out both installations as a single project. See our solar panels Devon page for more on combining services.
Determining the right size of an air conditioning unit for your office involves considering several factors to ensure that the system is neither too small nor too large, but just right for the space.
Yes. All modern split system air conditioning units operate in both modes. In cooling mode they remove heat from the indoor air. In heating mode they operate as air-source heat pumps, extracting heat from outside air and delivering it indoors at typically three to four times the efficiency of a conventional electric heater. For many Devon properties, a well-sized air conditioning system can replace room electric heating in winter while providing the cooling benefit in summer.
A prevalent misconception regarding air conditioning pertains to its perceived high operational costs. While the expenses associated with air conditioning can exhibit significant variation based on factors such as installation specifics, duration of usage, and the heating and cooling demands placed on the system, it is important to recognise that, in general, air conditioning is characterised by economic efficiency.
Any unit that has a heat pump will provide heating in addition to cooling. This is often very economical to run when compared to other forms of heating systems.
For a single split system in a residential property or small office, typically one day. Larger commercial systems with multiple indoor units and zone controls take longer, and we provide a project timeline at the survey stage.
