About our commercial air conditioning in South Hinksey
Server rooms and comms rooms need cooling that keeps going. We look at the heat load and how the room is used, and can discuss backup units, so a single fault does not leave the room without cooling. The work covers VRF systems, server and comms room cooling and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue.
Around South Hinksey, there’s typically space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What the work involves, system by system
Server and comms rooms
Server rooms generate heat all day and night, so the cooling has to run continuously. We size the system on the heat load.
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space above the ceiling and access for servicing for filters, drain and fan to be serviced.

These are the situations we see most often:
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
Healthcare premises near Littlemore Hospital need air conditioning that’s easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.

FAQs for South Hinksey
Will air conditioning in South Hinksey need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of South Hinksey. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Vale of White Horse council, which is usually the planning authority for South Hinksey.
Do you cover South Hinksey for commercial air conditioning?
We do: South Hinksey falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
An installation takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange one.
