How we handle commercial air conditioning in East Wittering
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in East Wittering and the rest of West Sussex. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands, and each one gets a system chosen for how the space is used. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are commercial systems near the end of their life and R410A systems getting dearer to top up.
In a place like East Wittering, commercial air conditioning is often for a shop, a surgery, a pub, an office unit or a farm business. Many need just one to four indoor units, and we size them from a survey.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

East Wittering: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in East Wittering need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of East Wittering. 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 Chichester council, which is typically the planning authority for East Wittering.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in East Wittering?
It can. East Wittering 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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Business air conditioning in East Wittering
East Wittering 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. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 care, childcare and hospital premises in and around East Wittering, up to about a mile and a half out. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms.
If you look after a church or hall such as St Anne, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents. For a school like East Wittering Community Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

What owners can safely do
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
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 a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Visits to a place like East Wittering are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- 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.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

How we price commercial air conditioning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
