Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Alfriston
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. We are often asked to deal with missing F-gas records for commercial systems and older systems that can’t keep up, across multi-split systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems.
For a business near Alfriston, outdoor units usually have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Alfriston: your questions answered
Is air conditioning in Alfriston permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Alfriston is in the Alfriston Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Wealden council, usually the authority for Alfriston.
Is Alfriston in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Alfriston falls inside our working area. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
At over 12 kW, inspections are due at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor does the inspection, and we can carry out the recommended work.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. There’s also a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
What happens on the day
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. For a place like Alfriston, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Other services in Alfriston
What owners can safely do
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
What we are called out for in Alfriston
In schools, the work has to fit around term time. We plan installs for holidays and weekends to keep teaching undisturbed.
What we are most often called about:
- Older systems that cannot keep up
- Leak check schedules that have slipped
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
If you run a surgery, clinic or pharmacy in the area around Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 4.2 miles south-west, cleanable, quiet units and regular maintenance matter.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- What’s in the price and what is not
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
For landlords and property managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
