Commercial air conditioning in Picket Piece, done properly
The right system depends on the building. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are older systems that can’t keep up and F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue.
For a business near Picket Piece, there’s typically space for plant at the rear, which keeps them tidy and easy to reach.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What the work involves, system by system
Server and comms rooms
IT equipment produces heat around the clock and the cooling must keep up all year. The design is based on the equipment’s heat output.
Shops and restaurants
Restaurant dining rooms have changing loads through the day and the controls need to handle that.

When to call us in Picket Piece

These are the situations we see most often:
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
- Older systems that cannot keep up

Picket Piece: your questions answered
Will you come out to Picket Piece?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Picket Piece in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Picket Piece is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK, and we can help you prepare.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Why deal with it now?
Small faults in a commercial system can spread to the whole building’s comfort. Regular servicing finds problems early and keeps the building comfortable. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.
