About our commercial air conditioning in Upper Wellingham
Server rooms and comms rooms need cooling that keeps going. We look at the heat load and how the room is used, and can discuss backup units so one failure does not take everything down. Common call-outs are for leak check schedules that have slipped and R410A systems getting dearer to top up, on server and comms room cooling, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Upper Wellingham, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What the work involves, system by system
VRF and VRV systems
Heat recovery VRF can move heat from rooms that need cooling to rooms that need heating, depending on the system chosen. We will say whether it suits your site.
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate. Many include a pump to move the water away, which we check on every service.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Upper Wellingham.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Related advice
Do you need commercial air conditioning in Upper Wellingham?
Heat builds up in commercial spaces from occupants, equipment, lighting and sunshine and windows alone cannot always shift it. Air conditioning sized to the actual heat gain keeps the space comfortable.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Buildings that cannot close for the work
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
- Server rooms running too warm
Before any plant goes outside a building like The Parish Church of St Mary, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.
What your quote should include
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Upper Wellingham
Will air conditioning in Upper Wellingham need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Upper Wellingham. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not 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 Lewes council, normally the authority for Upper Wellingham.
Do you cover Upper Wellingham for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Upper Wellingham falls inside our working area. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us with a few pictures.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out and we can help before and after.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
We install wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF systems. We recommend the type that suits your space.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

What affects the quote in Upper Wellingham
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
