How we price commercial air conditioning
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The pipe route between the units
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What we need to know
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
How we handle commercial air conditioning in Castle Hill
We design, install and look after air conditioning for businesses in Castle Hill and across Kent. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. The work covers server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and staff complaining about the temperature.
For a business near Castle Hill, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Castle Hill
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Castle Hill?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Castle Hill sits inside a conservation area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Tunbridge Wells council, which is normally the planning authority for Castle Hill.
Is Castle Hill within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Do you work on commercial properties?
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.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
The operator and the service technicians share responsibility. The operator must make sure leak checks are done where required and records are kept, and we provide both.
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’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what commercial air conditioning will not do:
- Fire strategy sign-off
- Building work beyond the installation itself
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
- Server and comms room cooling
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Multi-split systems
Owner checks or an engineer?
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

A customer’s words
“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.”
