HVAC Services in Derby
Climatix Group handles commercial HVAC installation, planned maintenance and reactive repair across Derby and Derbyshire. We are Gas Safe registered and BESA accredited, and we work with businesses, facilities managers and main contractors on jobs of all sizes, from a single-site maintenance contract to multi-building portfolios across the East Midlands.
Derby has a wide mix of commercial and industrial premises, and the demands placed on HVAC systems here reflect that. Our engineers have worked across precision manufacturing sites in Sinfin, distribution warehouses along the A50 corridor, NHS facilities at the Royal Derby Hospital and office developments around Pride Park. The building types and operational requirements vary considerably, and we have direct experience across all of them.
Our work covers the full lifecycle of commercial HVAC, from design, BIM coordination, supply, installation, commissioning, planned maintenance and emergency repair. If you need us involved from the project stage or you want to move an existing maintenance contract across to us, we will give you a straightforward assessment and a practical plan.
Climatix Group holds Gas Safe, BESA, REFCOM, CHAS and Safe Contractor accreditations. All documentation is provided as standard, so your compliance files, audit trails and insurance obligations are covered.
HVAC Maintenance
Our PPM contracts for Derby businesses cover all commercial HVAC plant. From air conditioning, heating, ventilation, air handling units and controls. Each contract is built around your site and equipment, with visit frequencies set to meet manufacturer requirements, regulatory obligations and your operational priorities. Every visit is documented, with service records and compliance certificates provided for your files.
Contracts can include reactive breakdown cover alongside planned visits if you want a single arrangement covering both. A well-structured PPM programme catches small problems before they become expensive ones, extends equipment lifespan and keeps you on the right side of your insurance policy and any lease obligations that require plant to be maintained to a set standard. For businesses with multiple sites, we can consolidate everything into a single contract with consistent reporting across all locations.
Breakdown and Emergency Repair
A failed heating, cooling or ventilation system has an immediate impact on your business. We provide reactive and emergency callout cover across Derby, and we carry a wide range of common parts so that first-visit fix rates stay high. You do not need an existing contract with us to call us out. We work with Derby businesses on a one-off basis as well as on contract, and we will always agree a scope and cost before any work starts.
When you call us, we will give you an honest estimated attendance time based on where our nearest available engineer is. Derby is around 90 minutes from our base at Leeds East Airport under normal conditions. For businesses seeing repeated callouts on the same equipment, it is worth a conversation about whether a maintenance contract would change the pattern.
Commercial Heating
We design, supply and install commercial heating systems for industrial and commercial buildings across Derby, including gas boilers, heat interface units and air source heat pumps. All gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, and we handle everything from specification through to commissioning and handover. We have experience working within occupied premises where heating cannot simply be shut off for weeks at a time.
If you have ageing plant, rising energy bills or a building that is not heating as it should, we can survey the site and put together a costed proposal. Heat pump options are worth exploring for commercial buildings where gas costs are a concern, and modern controls can make a meaningful difference to running costs without requiring a full plant replacement.
Air Conditioning Installation and Servicing
We install and maintain commercial VRF, split and multi-split air conditioning systems for offices, warehouses, automotive showrooms and a range of other premises across Derby. VRF systems suit larger buildings with mixed uses where different areas need different temperatures at the same time. For smaller sites, a well-specified split or multi-split system often does the job cleanly and at lower cost. We work with leading manufacturers and will advise on what suits your building and budget.
All air conditioning work is carried out by REFCOM certified engineers, so refrigerant handling is fully F-Gas compliant on every visit. We handle the full installation process and walk through operation and controls with whoever manages the building at handover. Ongoing service agreements can be set up at the same time, so you are not left looking for a maintenance contractor after the installation team has left.
Ventilation Systems
We design and install commercial ventilation systems for a range of building types across Derby and Derbyshire, including MEV, MVHR and supply and extract systems for offices, healthcare facilities, warehouses and hospitality premises. Poor ventilation affects air quality, staff comfort and, in some building types, regulatory compliance. Addressing it before it becomes a visible problem is almost always cheaper and less disruptive than responding to a failure.
We cover ongoing maintenance and filter servicing alongside installation, and we provide compliance documentation for buildings with air quality obligations. For buildings where ventilation has not been assessed for some time, we can carry out an inspection and give you a straightforward report on current performance and what, if anything, needs attention.
Mechanical Installation Projects
For new build and refurbishment schemes in Derby and across the East Midlands, Climatix Group can act as principal mechanical contractor or work within a wider project team. We handle design, BIM coordination, supply chain management, installation and commissioning across commercial, industrial, healthcare and automotive buildings. Our BIM capability means we can coordinate with other trades from the early stages of a project, which reduces on-site clashes and programme delays.
We regularly work to tight programmes and within occupied premises. Commissioning and handover documentation is produced for every project, including as-built drawings, O and M manuals and all compliance certification. Where a client wants us to continue as the maintenance provider after handover, we can structure that into the original contract from the outset.
TM44 Inspections
Buildings in Derby with air conditioning systems above 12kW combined cooling output are legally required to hold a valid TM44 inspection report, renewed every five years under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations. Our qualified assessors carry out inspections across Derby and Derbyshire, with the full report and supporting documentation issued on completion. Failing to hold a valid report can result in a penalty notice from your local authority.
A TM44 inspection also produces recommendations where improvements could reduce energy consumption or extend equipment life, so it is useful beyond the compliance requirement. For clients managing a portfolio of properties across Derby and Derbyshire, we can coordinate inspections across multiple sites and align scheduling with your lease renewal or compliance review cycles.
Sectors We Work With in Derby
Derby has a genuinely varied commercial economy, and the HVAC requirements of each sector are different in practice, not just in theory. Our engineers have worked across all of the following and understand the specific demands of each type of site.
Automotive and Car Dealerships
Car showrooms need more from their HVAC than most people assume. Consistent temperatures matter for vehicle presentation, and service bays need proper extraction and ventilation to meet health and safety requirements. We work with dealerships and automotive retail groups on both installation projects and ongoing maintenance contracts, keeping showroom environments running to manufacturer and brand standards year-round.
Healthcare
Healthcare buildings carry HVAC compliance requirements that go considerably further than standard commercial premises. Ventilation rates, pressure differentials, air change frequencies and infection control all affect how systems are designed and how often they need to be maintained. We work with NHS trusts, private healthcare providers and specialist clinical facilities, and our engineers know how to work in occupied healthcare environments without disrupting clinical operations.
Hospitality and Leisure
Restaurants, hotels, bars, gyms and leisure venues in Derby need to keep environments comfortable across varying occupancy levels and long operating hours. We install and maintain HVAC systems for hospitality and leisure premises, working around trading schedules to keep disruption to a minimum. Kitchen extract and ventilation in particular needs proper design and regular maintenance to stay compliant.
Office Buildings
Commercial offices in Derby, from single-occupier headquarters to multi-tenanted business park units, rely on well-maintained HVAC for comfort, energy performance and regulatory compliance. We work with landlords, occupiers and facilities managers on installation and ongoing maintenance. If you want us to handle TM44 inspections as part of a PPM contract, we can keep everything in one place.
Warehousing and Logistics
The A50 corridor and the wider distribution networks around Derby hold a significant amount of warehouse and storage stock. HVAC requirements range from basic space heating and dock ventilation to temperature-controlled storage where consistency is critical. A heating failure in January or a ventilation problem in a busy fulfilment centre can stop operations quickly. Our reactive cover and response times are built around that reality.
Residential and Build-to-Rent
We work on residential projects in Derby including new build housing, apartment schemes and build-to-rent developments where mechanical services sit within a larger construction programme. This covers heat pump installations, MVHR systems and the commissioning and compliance documentation needed at handover.

HVAC Questions From Derby Businesses
Do you cover Derby and the rest of Derbyshire?
Yes. Derby is part of our regular service area and we cover the wider county, including Chesterfield, Alfreton, Belper, Matlock, Ilkeston and Long Eaton. From our base in Church Fenton, North Yorkshire, Derby is around 90 minutes away under normal conditions.
What does a PPM contract typically include?
It depends on the site and the equipment. Generally it covers scheduled inspections, filter replacements, refrigerant checks, controls testing and performance reporting, with all documentation provided. We can add reactive breakdown cover to the same contract if that is useful, and we will schedule visits around your operational hours.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
If your air conditioning systems have a combined cooling output above 12kW, yes. TM44 inspections are a statutory requirement under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations, they need to be carried out by a qualified assessor, and they renew every five years. Not having a valid report can result in a penalty notice. If you are not sure whether you are in scope or when your last report expires, call us and we will look into it.
Can you take over an existing HVAC maintenance contract?
Yes, and we do this regularly. Before the contract starts, we will carry out a condition survey so we know the state of your plant and you have a clear baseline. It also means any immediate compliance issues get flagged upfront rather than turning into problems later.
How fast can you get to a breakdown in Derby?
Derby is around 90 minutes from our base in normal conditions. For contract customers with reactive cover, response times are set out in the contract. For one-off callouts, we will give you an estimated attendance time when you call. We carry common parts with us, which keeps fix times down and repeat visits to a minimum.
Do your engineers work in occupied buildings?
Most of the time, yes. Our engineers regularly work in live offices, healthcare facilities, warehouses, showrooms and hospitality venues. We are used to fitting around business operations and can schedule visits outside core hours where that works better for you. CHAS and Safe Contractor documentation is always available for site access requirements.
Do you install commercial heat pumps in Derby?
Yes. Air source heat pumps are a practical option for commercial buildings where gas costs are a growing concern or where improving EPC ratings is a priority. We can survey the site, look at the likely performance and costs, and handle the full installation and commissioning. All heat pump work is carried out by qualified engineers and fully documented.
