FAQs for Alverstone Garden Village
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Alverstone Garden Village?
It can. Alverstone Garden Village is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Will air conditioning in Alverstone Garden Village need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Alverstone Garden Village. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Alverstone Garden Village, normally Isle of Wight council) when it matters.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
TM44 inspections are carried out by accredited energy assessors, which we are not. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
A typical installation takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it though it keeps disruption down.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
The operator and the service technicians share responsibility. The operator needs to arrange leak checks and keep records where the system requires them, and we provide both.
About our commercial air conditioning in Alverstone Garden Village
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. If you’re dealing with leak check schedules that have slipped and TM44 recommendations that need acting on, we can sort it out.
In a village like Alverstone Garden Village, commercial air conditioning is normally for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What commercial air conditioning can’t fix
Commercial air conditioning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping the system healthy
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Keep a log for each system
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.
