Commercial air conditioning in Highwood
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 handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. We are often asked to deal with IT rooms that need resilient cooling and work raised by a TM44 inspection, across wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
Around Highwood, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What commercial work looks like in Highwood
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools and colleges and about 3 care, childcare and hospital premises within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Highwood. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
For a surgery or clinic in the St Leonard's Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date. If you look after a school such as Poulner Infant School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Highwood easier.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where needed.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

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.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
For landlords and property managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
The unit needs room in the void and an access hatch for filters, drain and fan to be serviced.
Hotels and schools
Hotel bedrooms need individual control and quiet running and installation has to be planned around occupancy. We phase the work floor by floor where necessary.

Questions from Highwood
Do you cover Highwood for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Highwood falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Highwood?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Highwood sits inside the Western Escarpment 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with New Forest council, which is normally the planning authority for Highwood.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do, with contracts covering servicing, leak checks and the paperwork. The visits and price are fixed with your quote.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
