Furnace Wood questions
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Furnace Wood?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Furnace Wood holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to Mid Sussex council, which is normally the planning authority for Furnace Wood when it matters.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Furnace Wood?
We do: Furnace Wood falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 with a few photos.
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.
Can you work around our opening hours?
We do: evening, weekend and phased installation are all possible to keep disruption down. We set out the timing before work starts.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor does the inspection, and we can carry out the recommended work.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
Everything from wall-mounted units for single rooms to VRF or VRV systems serving whole buildings. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
About our commercial air conditioning in Furnace Wood
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and server and comms room cooling, and the jobs we see most are TM44 recommendations that need acting on and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down.
For a hall or similar building near Furnace Wood, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. We plan the trip to Furnace Wood around you.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

What commercial work looks like in Furnace Wood
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 care, childcare and hospital premises within about 1.5 miles of central Furnace Wood. Many of those sites need air conditioning that is sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule.
Schools such as Felbridge Primary School typically have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty. For a surgery or clinic in the Queen Victoria Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.
Furnace Wood is about 3 miles west of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. Furnace Wood gets the same approach as every job we take on: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we have finished. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots.
The closest recent job we can point to from Furnace Wood was on Cantelupe Road, East Grinstead (RH19), about 3 miles east: installing a Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-LN wall-mounted split system in the master bedroom and a second unit in the open-plan kitchen-diner.
If you need commercial air conditioning at a property on Lake View Road, Felcot Road and Furnace Farm Road or a nearby road, our engineers can take on the work. Our engineers cover all of RH19 for commercial air conditioning and the streets around it. Close by, we work in Domewood (1 mile north-west), Snow Hill (1 mile west), Felbridge (1 mile east), Crawley Down (1 mile south) and Newchapel (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Crawley (6 miles west), Horsham (12 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (10 miles south) and Burgess Hill (13 miles south).

Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
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.
After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
After commissioning, you get the F-gas records, handover notes and the manufacturer’s paperwork. They’ll be needed for servicing, leak checks and TM44 inspections.
Replace ageing systems on your own timetable especially where top-up refrigerant is getting harder to buy.
Rented and managed buildings
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
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.”
