Commercial air conditioning in Hardwick
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are older systems that can’t keep up and comms rooms without enough cooling.
Around Hardwick, there’s typically space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Why deal with it now?
One failing outdoor unit can affect many rooms. Planned maintenance catches issues before they grow, and keeps the system running the way it was designed to. For a village like Hardwick, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Common questions in Hardwick
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hardwick?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Hardwick sits inside the Hardwick Conservation Area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Hardwick, typically West Oxfordshire council).
Do you cover Hardwick for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Hardwick is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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 work around our opening hours?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Every type of building has its own pattern, and we plan for them.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Hardwick and across Oxfordshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Hardwick
The GB phase-down is reducing HFC supply, so refrigerants like R410A are getting scarcer and dearer for top-ups. Servicing and repairing R410A systems is still allowed, but it’s a factor when planning a replacement.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
Churches and halls such as Church of St Mary are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.
What your quote should include
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hardwick
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
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.
