Commercial air conditioning in Crawley
There’s no single best commercial system. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. Typical jobs include new tenancies needing cooling and heating and TM44 recommendations that need acting on, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and VRF systems.
In a village like Crawley, commercial air conditioning is typically 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.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How the job changes from property to property
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 and that’s checked when it’s serviced.
F-gas records and TM44
An accredited energy assessor carries out the TM44 inspection. We’re not assessors, but we prepare the system and carry out the improvements the report recommends.
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Crawley
Is air conditioning in Crawley permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 10 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Crawley. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at West Oxfordshire council, usually the authority for Crawley.
Is Crawley in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Crawley is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, we plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs so the business keeps running. We set out the timing before work starts.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
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 or a short video of the display is even better.
What else we do in Crawley
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Crawley can be planned properly.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- 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.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, 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.
Advice
What commercial work looks like in Crawley
There are about 35 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 6 schools and colleges and about 6 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crawley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
If you look after a school such as Hailey Church of England Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is normally installed in the holidays. Churches and halls such as Church of St John the Evangelist 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.
Crawley is about 1 mile north-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire. For commercial air conditioning in and around Crawley, it’s easy to get a fixed-price quote: please ring 07833 053749 or email us. We work across London and the South East, Crawley included. Our area takes in 443 places across Oxfordshire. For properties nearby, see our Guildford page, about 56 miles away.
You’ll find streets such as Witney Hill, Farm Lane and Foxburrow Lane, and we cover them all. Jobs in OX29 are looked at, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Places around Crawley that are also on our list: Leafield (2 miles north-west), Swinbrook (4 miles west), Ascott d'Oyley (4 miles north-west), Ascott-under-Wychwood (5 miles north-west) and Ascott Earl (5 miles north-west).

What’s near Crawley
In Crawley, that means homes and buildings near Wood Green School and The Lamb Inn. The closest station to Crawley is Finstock station, roughly 3.6 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Cogges Manor Farm Museum (1.9 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Blenheim Farm.
What happens if it’s left?
R410A systems are still legal to repair, though supply of the gas is tightening. Planning a replacement on your own timetable beats replacing it after a major failure. For a village like Crawley, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
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’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.

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.”
