What we install
Mitsubishi Electric.
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.
Worcester Bosch’s air-to-air heat pump systems provide both heating and cooling in a single system, with the backing of one of the UK’s most trusted heating brands. 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.
Energy Efficient Air Conditioning Solutions
Energy efficiency is at the core of our air conditioning services at M&E Contrax. We install air conditioning units and ventilation systems that enhance comfort while reducing energy consumption and operational costs. Every modern split system we install operates as a heat pump in both directions, cooling in summer and heating in winter at typically three to four times the efficiency of direct electric heating, which means the investment works for your premises year-round, not just during a heatwave.
We install Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Panasonic, Toshiba, and Worcester Bosch systems across South Devon and the wider South West, and our NICEIC-approved engineers carry out every installation in-house.
We cover Newton Abbot, Exeter, Torbay, Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Plymouth, South Hams, and Dartmoor. If you are in one of our core areas, visit your local page for specific information about installations near you:

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.
For single split systems in homes and small offices, we typically install within 1 to 2 weeks of survey. Larger commercial systems take longer to specify and programme. Call 01364 654271 for availability.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is supposed to be offering a £2,500 grant for air-to-air heat pump systems in residential properties in 20207. Air-to-air systems are essentially modern air conditioning units that also heat in winter. We advise on BUS eligibility at the survey stage.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme was expanded in late 2025, and in 2027, it’s going to include a 2,500 pound grant towards air-to-air heat pumps, which are essentially modern air conditioning systems. This applies to eligible properties where the air-to-air system is being installed as a heating solution rather than a standalone cooling measure. We can advise on eligibility at the survey stage. See our air conditioning grant resource for more detail.
