About commercial air conditioning in Essex

Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. Typical jobs include fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and staff complaining about the temperature, on server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and multi-split systems.

If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building.

  1. We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
  2. We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
  3. We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
  4. The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
  5. We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.

What you will pay

Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Why choose AirCon Doctor

  • Leading brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Fujitsu
  • Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
  • Fixed-price quotes after a survey or pictures
  • We reply to enquiries the same working day

Getting a quote

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Around Colchester

Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to Church of St Peter, Bull Meadow and The Bay And Say Public House. Other local landmarks include Colchester Sixth Form College (under half a mile north-west) and St John's Green Primary School (within half a mile south). Colchester has its own railway station: Colchester Town station. Well-known places in the area include Lion Walk (less than half a mile south-east) and Essex County Hospital (less than half a mile south-west). The countryside around Colchester includes Westhouse Wood.

Business air conditioning across Essex

From Colchester, Chelmsford and Basildon outwards, we fit commercial air conditioning across Essex. Each system is designed from a site survey.

Refrigerant work is done by F-gas qualified engineers for a certified company, and the electrics come under our NICEIC approval. Essex includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of outdoor coils and fixings. We choose positions and fixings with that in mind.

Colchester: For a surgery or clinic in the Essex County Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date. For a school like Colchester Sixth Form College, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

What affects the quote in Essex

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
  • The number of rooms, units or zones
  • What we find on the survey or diagnosis
  • Which make and model is being fitted or worked on

Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we will explain what it covers.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
  • The fuse board and where it is in the property
  • The make and model of the system, from the label
  • The remote or wall controller showing any error

To get a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few pictures make it quicker. You will hear back from us the same working day.

What we’re called out for in Essex

Many businesses call us when an older system is struggling or failing. Spares get scarce and performance drops so replacement starts to make more sense than repair.

Common reasons people call us include:

  • Commercial systems near the end of their life
  • Leak check schedules that have slipped
  • IT rooms that need resilient cooling
  • Changes of use that need a new layout

What happens if it’s left?

Phased and out-of-hours installs cost planning time, but they keep the business running. Waiting for a failure removes that choice.

What your quote should include

  • Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
  • Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
  • Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
  • Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it

Honest limits

Commercial air conditioning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:

  • Structural alterations to the building
  • Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
  • Boiler installation or repair

Questions from Essex

What accreditations do you have?

F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.

Can I do the refrigerant work myself?

The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.

Are you TM44 assessors?

No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.

What warranty do I get?

It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.

How much time does a commercial air con install need?

Expect it to take a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. The size of the building, the system and any phasing make the biggest difference and the programme comes with your quote.
