Harlington questions
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Harlington?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Harlington?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Harlington Village Conservation Area is close to the centre of Harlington. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Hillingdon council, which is normally the planning authority for Harlington.
Can I do the refrigerant work 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.
Do you cover Harlington?
Yes. We work in Harlington and across Greater London, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
It takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. The size of the building, the system and any phasing make the biggest difference, and we set out the timing with your quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Harlington
There’s no single best commercial system. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. If the problem is offices that get too hot in summer and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, we can help.
In Harlington, as anywhere in England, larger systems need F-gas leak checks, and over 12 kW of cooling a TM44 inspection is required. We keep the F-gas records and flag what’s coming up.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Cooling for Harlington businesses
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 66 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 22 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 11 schools and colleges in and around Harlington, up to about a mile and a half out. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. For London businesses, plant position, noise and access are planned with the building first.
Churches and halls such as Church of St Peter and St Paul 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. Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Harlington (about 0.6 miles north-west) normally want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.

How we price commercial air conditioning
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many units are involved
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. A few photos of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Harlington.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- 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.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about parking and loading
