On site, it takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Hungerford.

Advice
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Hungerford
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Hungerford and the rest of West Berkshire. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. The work covers server and comms room cooling, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and people most often call us about planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and missing F-gas records for commercial systems.
In a place like Hungerford, commercial air conditioning is often for a shop, a surgery, a pub, an office unit or a farm business. Many need just one to four indoor units, and we size them from a survey.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What electrical work the job needs
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
When to call us in Hungerford
Restaurants and hotels need comfortable rooms for guests and staff. Dining rooms, bedrooms and function rooms all have different patterns of use and that shapes the system and the controls.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
- Older systems that cannot keep up
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
A bursar or site manager at a school like Hungerford Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.
Before booking anyone
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
Why deal with it now?
In a comms room, losing the cooling can soon become serious. Reviewing the cooling and adding resilience is best done in advance. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Questions from Hungerford
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Hungerford?
Yes. Hungerford is one of the places we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Is Hungerford within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission?
Not necessarily. On a house, air-to-water heat pumps and, since 2025, air-to-air systems that heat as well as cool can be permitted development if they meet the conditions. Permission is more likely to come up for cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing positions in conservation areas and the survey picks it up. This is general information, not legal advice.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
What commercial work looks like in Hungerford
Food Standards Agency records list about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 care, childcare and hospital premises within about 1.5 miles of central Hungerford. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. The centre of Hungerford lies within the Hungerford Conservation Area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Hungerford. Church of St Lawrence, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 93 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hungerford’s centre. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the planning team at West Berkshire council, which usually handles Hungerford has the final say on what’s allowed.
Churches and halls such as Church of St Lawrence 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.
