Wokingham commercial air conditioning
Commercial air conditioning in Wokingham from an F-Gas certified company, with the manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote. Enquiries answered the same working day.
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
Different systems, different jobs
Shops and restaurants
Shops and restaurants need comfortable customers and staff. We plan installs outside trading hours where possible to keep trading.
VRF and VRV systems
Larger systems carry more refrigerant, so F-gas leak checks and records are more likely to apply. We work out the tCO2e and set the check schedule.
Commercial air conditioning in Wokingham, done properly
We design, install and look after air conditioning for businesses in Wokingham. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands, and each one gets a system chosen for how the space is used. If you are dealing with older systems that can’t keep up and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, we can help.
Commercial work in Wokingham ranges from shops and restaurants to offices, schools and server rooms. Each one is sized for its own heat load and hours, so we survey before we design and quote.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. 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.
Cooling for Wokingham businesses
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 56 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 17 schools and colleges and about 21 care, childcare and hospital premises within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wokingham. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
If your office near Wokingham station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer. Schools such as Walter Infant School usually have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

Wokingham: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Wokingham?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Wokingham is in a conservation area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Wokingham council, which is usually the planning authority for Wokingham.
Is Wokingham in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Wokingham falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF or VRV systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor and we can help before and after.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Photos taken on a phone are often enough for us to plan a visit to Wokingham.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Commercial air conditioning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
