Commercial air conditioning in Gilbert Street
Businesses can’t always stop for an installation. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before we start. If the problem is R410A systems getting dearer to top up and comms rooms without enough cooling, we can sort it out.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Gilbert Street, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

System by system
Hotels and schools
In hotels, each room needs its own control, and work has to fit around guests. We phase the work floor by floor where necessary.
Offices
Different areas often need different settings, which VRF and multi-split systems can provide.

Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
If the system needs F-gas leak checks, we diary the first one and we can cover it under a contract.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem and correct settings avoid it.
What air conditioning won’t do
Commercial air conditioning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Boiler installation or repair
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Structural alterations to the building
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Gilbert Street questions
Do you cover Gilbert Street for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Gilbert Street falls inside our working area. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Gilbert Street?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Gilbert Street. 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 is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at East Hampshire council, typically the authority for Gilbert Street.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do, with contracts covering servicing, leak checks and the paperwork. We agree the schedule and cost up front.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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 will work out which band applies to yours.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
The operator and the service technicians share responsibility. The operator must make sure leak checks are done where required and records are kept and we handle that for you.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Gilbert Street can be planned properly.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- 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.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

“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.”
