Commercial air conditioning in Brighton and Hove
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. 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. The work covers server and comms room cooling, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about commercial systems near the end of their life and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection.
Commercial installs in Brighton and Hove are planned to keep you trading, often over a weekend or a few evenings.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
How it works
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 anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Shops and offices in Brighton and Hove can usually stay open while we work, or we come after hours.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
What air conditioning will not do
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Structural alterations to the building
- Acting as the energy assessor
- Getting landlord or building owner approval
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Brighton and Hove
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Brighton and Hove?
It can. Brighton and Hove is within about 1 mile 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.
Is Brighton and Hove in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Brighton and Hove is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We are not accredited energy assessors, so we don’t inspect. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How long does a commercial installation take?
An installation takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book it.
Commercial air conditioning around Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove lies within about 1 mile of the sea. For a business near the sea, outdoor plant position and corrosion protection are part of the design. There are about 202 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 9 hotels and guest houses and about 38 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brighton and Hove, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. 4 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Brighton and Hove. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Brighton and Hove, including Church of St Barnabas (grade II*). Heritage protection changes what an install can involve, so the survey looks at your address first and tells you plainly whether consent is likely.
Offices near Aldrington station often need cooling for meeting rooms and server cupboards as well as the main space. For a church or hall like Holy Cross Church, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
