Commercial air conditioning in Hardham, West Sussex
We cover Hardham for commercial air conditioning. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Show staff how to use the controls properly
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Make sure filters are maintained and outdoor units have space. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Hardham
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. If you are dealing with fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and buildings that can’t close for the work, we can sort it out.
For a hall or similar building near Hardham, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Rented and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
How we price commercial air conditioning
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
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 unsure, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
For commercial air conditioning in Hardham, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few photos if you can. We reply the same working day.

Advice
Hardham: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in Hardham need planning permission?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Hardham Conservation Area, close to central Hardham. 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 the local planning authority (for Hardham, normally Horsham council) when it matters.
Will you come out to Hardham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can you install out of hours?
We do: evening, weekend and phased installation are all possible to keep disruption down. We set out the timing before work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Hardham and across West Sussex. Let us know who the records should go to.
