Commercial air conditioning in Smith's Green, done properly
Businesses cannot always stop for an installation. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before any work starts. We are often asked to deal with buildings that can’t close for the work and work raised by a TM44 inspection, on ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Around Smith's Green, there’s usually space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Smith's Green
Older systems running on R410A face rising costs for top-ups as the GB HFC phase-down tightens supply. Servicing and repairing R410A systems is still allowed, but it’s a factor when planning a replacement.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
- Changes of use that need a new layout
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
A bursar or site manager at a school like Takeley Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
Why deal with it now?
An older system on R410A can be kept running, but top-up refrigerant is getting scarcer and dearer. Planning a replacement on your own timetable beats replacing it after a major failure. Booking before summer means the work in Smith's Green is done before the hot weather.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
Why us?
- NICEIC approved for electrical work
- Covering London and the South East
- We diagnose before we treat
- F-Gas company certification

Smith's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Smith's Green for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Smith's Green falls inside our working area. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few photos.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Smith's Green?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Smiths Green Conservation Area, close to central Smith's Green. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Uttlesford council, which is normally the planning authority for Smith's Green.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
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.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

What a customer said
“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.”
