About our commercial air conditioning in Upper Burgate
There’s no single best commercial system. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. The work covers VRF systems, server and comms room cooling and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are commercial systems near the end of their life and leak check schedules that have slipped.
Around Upper Burgate, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Building work beyond the installation itself
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor

What we’re called out for in Upper Burgate
Many businesses call us when an older system is struggling or failing. Spares get scarce and performance drops so replacement starts to make more sense than repair.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Server rooms running too warm
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
A bursar or site manager at a school like The Burgate School and Sixth Form will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.

What else we do in Upper Burgate
Common questions in Upper Burgate
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Upper Burgate?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Upper Burgate holds about 7 listed buildings and structures. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to New Forest council, which is usually the planning authority for Upper Burgate when it matters.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Upper Burgate?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Upper Burgate is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Upper Burgate can be planned properly.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
- Don’t let servicing slip
- Leave space around outdoor units
Once the system is commissioned, we hand over the records, the controls and the manufacturer documents. Keep them together for future servicing and inspections.
Planned maintenance is the best way to keep a commercial system healthy. The schedule and cost are fixed up front.
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.”
