About our commercial air conditioning in Charlwood
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer.
In a village like Charlwood, commercial air conditioning is usually for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Business air conditioning in Charlwood
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Charlwood. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. About 78% of homes in and around Charlwood date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 44% of households in terraced houses. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. Central Charlwood is inside the Charlwood Conservation Area. Church of Saint Nicholas, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 55 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Charlwood’s centre. If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to the local planning authority (typically Mole Valley council) where it’s needed.
Churches and halls such as Church of St Nicholas are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place. If you look after a school such as Charlwood Village Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is normally installed in the holidays.
Charlwood is about 3 miles south-west of Horley, in Surrey. Our engineers cover Charlwood for commercial air conditioning and across the rest of Surrey. Charlwood is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work.
The closest recent job we can point to from Charlwood was on Victoria Road, Horley (RH6), about 3 miles north-east: installing a Daikin multi-split system serving three bedrooms and the living room.
The Street, Yew Tree Road and Rectory Lane and the roads off them are all inside our area. Our engineers cover all of the RH6 postcode area. Close by, we work in Russ Hill (1 mile south-west), Norwood Hill (2 miles north), Cudworth (2 miles west), Ifieldwood (2 miles south) and Ifield (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Epsom (13 miles north), Horley (3 miles north-east), Redhill (6 miles north-east) and Ewell (14 miles north).
Near you in Charlwood
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The Half Moon pub and Edolph's Copse, among other places.

Not far away are Tilgate Lake.
The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Charlwood.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Don’t wait for small faults to become breakdowns
If anything doesn’t feel right after the install, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll come back to it. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem, and we can help set them up.

What else we do in Charlwood
Different systems, different jobs
VRF and VRV systems
Larger systems carry more refrigerant so leak checks and records often apply. We calculate the tCO2e and plan the checks.
Hotels and schools
Hotel bedrooms need individual control and quiet running and installation has to be planned around occupancy. We phase the work floor by floor where needed.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.

What a customer said
“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.”
