How we handle commercial air conditioning in Westbourne
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside, so the building works as a whole. We’re often asked to deal with planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, on VRF systems, server and comms room cooling and multi-split systems.
Around Westbourne, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Let and managed properties
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Questions from Westbourne
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Westbourne?
It can. Westbourne is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Is Westbourne within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
Operators of systems from 5 tCO2e upwards need leak checks and records. Checks are at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e, and we can handle both.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Cooling for Westbourne businesses
At about 2 miles from the coast, Westbourne is close enough for sea air to matter. For a business near the sea, outdoor plant position and corrosion protection are part of the design. Food Standards Agency data counts about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 6 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Westbourne. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. The Westbourne Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Westbourne, within about a third of a mile. Historic England lists about 56 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Westbourne, including The Parish Church of St John the Baptist (grade I). Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the planning team at Chichester council, which normally handles Westbourne has the final say on what’s allowed.
For a surgery or clinic in the Havant War Memorial Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date. Before any plant goes outside a building like St John the Baptist's Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.
Westbourne is about 3 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Westbourne gets the same approach as every job we take on: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Worthing, about 23 miles from Westbourne.
The closest recent job we can point to from Westbourne was on East Street, Chichester (PO19), about 7 miles east: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the dining area and a second unit serving the kitchen pass area.
If your postcode is in PO10, you are inside the area we cover. You’ll find streets such as The Square, Church Road and Crockford Road, and we cover them all. Neighbouring places we cover include Lumley (1 mile south), Woodmancote (1 mile east), Emsworth (1 mile south-west), Southbourne (1 mile south-east) and Denvilles (2 miles west). We also work in nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (12 miles south-east), Chichester (7 miles east), Selsey (11 miles south-east) and Portfield (7 miles east).

What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. For a place like Westbourne, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, 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 on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of system it is
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The size of the job
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, ring 07833 053749 for straight advice and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The address and the type of property
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
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.”
