Commercial Air Conditioning in Tovil
We cover Tovil for commercial air conditioning. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection
The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors, and we tidy up before we leave. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Tovil.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a price
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Commercial air conditioning in Tovil
Businesses can’t always stop for an installation. We plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before we start. We’re often asked to deal with staff complaining about the temperature and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, across VRF systems, server and comms room cooling and ducted systems.
In a place like Tovil, commercial air conditioning is often for a shop, a surgery, a pub, an office unit or a farm business. Most need one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Looking after your system
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
- Budget for replacing ageing plant
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. We can prepare the system and act on the report.
Make sure filters are maintained and outdoor units have space. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Tovil
Will you come out to Tovil?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is Tovil in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Tovil is one of the places we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK, and we can help you prepare.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we are not assessors. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you need commercial air conditioning in Tovil?
A fit-out, refurbishment or change of use often means rethinking the air conditioning. More people, new walls or extra equipment alter what the system has to cope with and the system needs to match the new layout.
What we’re most often called about:
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- Changes of use that need a new layout
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
Schools such as Archbishop Courtenay Primary School normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

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.”
