How we handle commercial air conditioning in South Norwood
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. The work covers server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about workspaces that overheat on warm days and IT rooms that need resilient cooling.
For a business in South Norwood, the legal side matters too: F-gas leak checks on larger systems, and TM44 inspections where total cooling output is over 12 kW. We keep the F-gas records and flag what’s coming up.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly:
- Budget for replacing ageing plant
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
- Leave space around outdoor units
The warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you and you will know what they ask for.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.
What owners can safely do
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

What else we do in South Norwood
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. 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 a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to South Norwood.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
How to get a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
A ducted system hides the indoor unit and feeds air to the room through grilles. They suit spaces where a visible unit isn’t wanted, such as hotels, restaurants and shops.
VRF and VRV systems
Heat recovery VRF can move heat from rooms that need cooling to rooms that need heating on systems designed for it. We explain whether that would help your building.
Cooling for South Norwood businesses
Food Standards Agency records list about 238 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 11 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 36 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central South Norwood. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. About 41% of homes across South Norwood and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 55% of households live in flats. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. For London businesses, plant position, noise and access are planned with the building first.
If you look after a school such as St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.

Questions from South Norwood
Can you do commercial air conditioning in South Norwood?
We do: South Norwood falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few pictures.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in South Norwood?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Can you work around our opening hours?
We can. We fit the installation around when the building is in use and phase it where necessary.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How long does a commercial installation take?
An installation takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us to book it.
Are you TM44 assessors?
The inspection itself must be done by an accredited energy assessor. Our part is getting the system ready and doing the follow-up work.
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.”
