How we handle commercial air conditioning in Swanwick
Every commercial job is commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, then send a fixed-price quote. That way the system fits the site and the price is clear before work starts. If you are dealing with comms rooms without enough cooling and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, we can sort it out.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Swanwick, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Swanwick
Will you come out to Swanwick?
Yes. Swanwick is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Swanwick?
It can. Swanwick is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
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 recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. There’s also a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Will I need planning permission?
It can do. Heat pumps and cooling-only units are treated differently, and so are flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We flag anything that may need permission when we survey, and the council has the final say. This is general information, not legal advice.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
- Building work beyond the installation itself
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Multi-split systems
- Server and comms room cooling
- Wall-mounted split systems
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducted systems
How the job changes from property to property
VRF and VRV systems
VRF systems hold more refrigerant than small splits so leak checks and records often apply. We calculate the tCO2e and plan the checks.
Server and comms rooms
Adding a second unit gives resilience and we can explain how they would work together.
What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. We plan the trip to Swanwick around you.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Getting a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, 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. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.

Commercial air conditioning around Swanwick
At about 3 miles from the coast, Swanwick is close enough for sea air to matter. Rooftop and wall-mounted plant near the sea needs protecting from salt air, through position, coil coatings where available and regular maintenance. Food Standards Agency records list about 33 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 9 schools and colleges and about 22 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Swanwick. Many of those sites need air conditioning that is sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Swanwick and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Brick Kiln, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 20 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Swanwick’s centre. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with Fareham council, normally the planning authority here where necessary.
Around Bursledon station, an office brief might cover an open-plan floor, meeting rooms and a comms cupboard, each with its own needs. Schools such as Sarisbury Church of England Junior School typically have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

What else we do in Swanwick
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. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
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.”
