About our commercial air conditioning in Southwater
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside, so the building works as a whole. Common call-outs are for planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and missing F-gas records for commercial systems, on wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems.
Around Southwater, many businesses choose systems that heat as well as cool, which can replace old heaters in shops and offices.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
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 call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.

What the work involves, system by system
VRF and VRV systems
With VRF or VRV, one set of outdoor units serves many indoor units. Each zone can be controlled separately making it a common choice for larger buildings.
Offices
Different areas often need different settings and zoned systems make that possible.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Issuing TM44 reports
- Building work beyond the installation itself
- Boiler installation or repair
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Server and comms room cooling
- VRF systems
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. In a place like Southwater, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where needed.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board

Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

FAQs for Southwater
Will you come out to Southwater?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I fit air conditioning in Southwater without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Southwater. 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 the local planning authority (for Southwater, usually Horsham council).
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Commercial systems are priced after a site survey. The building, the heat load, the system type and the programme all affect the cost, and you get a fixed-price quote before work starts.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How long does a commercial installation take?
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 give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange one.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
