Commercial air conditioning in Hales Place, done properly
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. Typical jobs include offices that get too hot in summer and comms rooms without enough cooling, on VRF systems, server and comms room cooling and ducted systems.
For a business near Hales Place, there’s usually space for plant at the rear, which keeps them out of sight and easy to service.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What we do, step by step
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. It takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Hales Place.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where needed.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a quote
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.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Hales Place
Do you cover Hales Place for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Hales Place is one of the places we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Is air conditioning in Hales Place permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Tyler Hill Conservation Area is close to the centre of Hales Place. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Canterbury City council, usually the authority for Hales Place.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
We install wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Can you work around our opening hours?
Yes, the programme is built around the site. Shops, offices, restaurants and schools all have different needs, and we plan for them.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- Budget for replacing ageing plant
- Keep a log for each system
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.
Good records make inspections and audits easier. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.
What air conditioning will not do
Commercial air conditioning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
