How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Thorley so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Advice
About our commercial air conditioning in Thorley
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Thorley and the rest of Hertfordshire. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. Typical jobs include commercial systems near the end of their life and R410A systems getting dearer to top up, across ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and server and comms room cooling.
Around Thorley, there’s normally space for outdoor plant away from the road.
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.

When to call us in Thorley
Ageing systems are a common reason for a call. Parts become harder to find and the system cannot keep up so replacement starts to make more sense than repair.
Customers usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
For a surgery or clinic in the Herts and Essex Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.
Before booking anyone
- What records you get at the end
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
Thorley questions
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Thorley?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 10 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Thorley. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at East Hertfordshire council, usually the authority for Thorley.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Thorley?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Thorley is part of that. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
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, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
It takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. The scale and programme decide most of it, and we set out the timing with your quote.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, we plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs to keep disruption down. The programme is agreed with your quote.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work and you get a fixed price.
Rented and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.

Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
