About our commercial air conditioning in Kippington
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside, so the building works as a whole. The work covers multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are buildings that can’t close for the work and new tenancies needing cooling and heating.
In a place like Kippington, 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, sized from a site survey.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep a log for each system
- Review older R410A systems before they need major repairs
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you and you will know what they ask for.
Replace ageing systems on your own timetable, particularly where they use R410A.

Kippington questions
Is Kippington in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Kippington falls inside our working area. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few photos.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Kippington?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Kippington is in a conservation area. 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 Kippington, normally Sevenoaks council) when it matters.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. For breakdowns, there’s a 24/7 emergency line.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
TM44 inspections are carried out by accredited energy assessors, which we are not. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
Why deal with it now?
TM44 inspections are required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. Acting on the findings can improve how the system runs and we can do the work they recommend. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When to call us in Kippington
Heat builds up in commercial spaces from occupants, equipment, lighting and sunshine and windows alone cannot always shift it. Air conditioning sized to the actual heat gain keeps the space comfortable.
What we are most often called about:
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Offices that get too hot in summer
- Fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning
For a school like St Thomas' Catholic Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.
What your quote should include
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
