About our commercial air conditioning in Balls Cross
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Balls Cross and the rest of West Sussex. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. If you are dealing with staff complaining about the temperature and R410A systems getting dearer to top up, we can sort it out.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Balls Cross, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.

What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Balls Cross so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

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, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Why deal with it now?
Where the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is due at least every 5 years. Acting on the findings can improve how the system runs and we can do the work they recommend. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Ceiling cassettes
Installing a cassette needs room in the void and a way to drain the water. Many include a pump to move the water away, which we check on every service.
Commercial air conditioning in Balls Cross: local notes
On the National Heritage List, around 8 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Balls Cross; Ivy Cottage (grade II) is one. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, Chichester council, usually the planning authority here has the final say on what’s allowed. At about 39 miles from central London, Balls Cross sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Before any plant goes outside a building like Holy Trinity Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. Above 12 kW of effective rated output, an accredited energy assessor has to inspect the system at least every five years.

Questions from Balls Cross
Do you cover smaller places like Balls Cross?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Balls Cross for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Balls Cross is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few photos.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically 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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK and we will help with the system side.
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
That depends on what’s being fitted and where. In England, an air source heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, so check with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
