How we handle commercial air conditioning in Orlestone
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside for a joined-up system. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are TM44 recommendations that need acting on and workspaces that overheat on warm days.
For a hall or similar building near Orlestone, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What owners can safely do
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. 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.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. 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.
FAQs for Orlestone
Will air conditioning in Orlestone need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Orlestone. 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 Ashford council, which is typically the planning authority for Orlestone.
Will you come out to Orlestone?
Yes. Orlestone is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
Yes, maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and records. The visits and price are fixed with your quote.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
An installation takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. We confirm the timing after the survey, so phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email to arrange one.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
It depends on the system’s tCO2e. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.
Common problems we fix in Orlestone
A TM44 report, an F-gas audit or an insurer’s question can prompt the call. We act on the recommendations and bring the records up to date and you have the evidence to hand.
Look out for these signs:
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
- Buildings that can’t close for the work
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of St Mary the Virgin, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Visits to Orlestone are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
