Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
A single ducted unit can feed several grilles, depending on the layout.
Hotels and schools
If the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is required at least every 5 years and we can get the system ready and carry out the work it recommends.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Combe
Every commercial job is commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, and a fixed-price quote follows. So you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs. We’re often asked to deal with installs that must fit around trading hours and R410A systems getting dearer to top up, across VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.
In a village like Combe, commercial air conditioning is typically for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes 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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Combe easier.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Combe
Will air conditioning in Combe need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Combe is a short walk from the Combe 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 the local planning authority (for Combe, normally West Oxfordshire council).
Is Combe in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Combe falls inside our working area. To start, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, we plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs to keep disruption down. We set out the timing before work starts.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly:
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
Handover includes a walk-through of the controls so staff can set it up properly. Getting the settings right helps the system perform.
Plan replacements before old systems fail, particularly where they use R410A.
Why deal with it now?
An older system on R410A can be kept running, but top-up refrigerant is getting scarcer and dearer. Planning a replacement on your own timetable beats replacing it after a major failure. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.
