The Problem

Why Dental Surgeries Get So Hot

A dental surgery packs a lot of heat into a small room: lights, computers and imaging equipment, a door kept closed for privacy, and a clinical team in gowns, masks and visors. The decontamination room is worse, with autoclaves and washer-disinfectors running all day.

A hot surgery is hard work for the team and uncomfortable for nervous patients. That is where a reliable, quiet split system earns its keep.

Worth Knowing

Cooling Is Not Ventilation

One point worth being clear on: a standard split air conditioner recirculates the air in the room. Ventilation information for dentistry notes that recirculating units help move air around a room but don't add to the air change rate or bring in outdoor air.

So air conditioning controls temperature; it doesn't replace your ventilation, and it won't shorten fallow time on its own. I install and service cooling to work alongside the ventilation you have, and I'll tell you plainly when a question is really one for a ventilation specialist.

In the decontamination room, the ventilation is there to move air from the clean side to the dirty side. Any cooling is planned around that, not instead of it.

What I Look After

Rooms in a Dental Practice

Surgery wall units and cassettes

Filters washed, coils cleaned and treated, drains flushed, and the unit left quiet enough not to compete with the conversation in the chair.

Decontamination rooms

The hardest-working cooling in the practice, often running flat out all summer. Twice-yearly servicing if it runs every day.

Reception and waiting areas

First impressions for patients — and the place where a dripping unit gets noticed.

Server and comms cupboards

Practice management and imaging systems don't like heat. A small dedicated unit protects them.

Hygiene at source

Clean filters, clean coils and clear drains stop a split unit recirculating dust and smells. Everything is cleaned in place and the area left clean.

How I Work

Fitting Around Your Patient List

Visits are booked before the first patient, after the last, at lunchtime or on a Saturday, at no extra cost. I work room by room, so the practice keeps running.

Dental practices are registered with the CQC, and Regulation 15 asks that premises and equipment are clean and properly maintained. A dated service record for each unit is the simplest evidence you can hand an inspector.

Costs

Dental Practice Pricing

£120 for the first complete system and £90 for each additional system on the same visit. A complete system means one indoor unit and its matched outdoor unit. On a twice-yearly agreement it is £195 per system per year.

If we haven't worked together before, your first visit is £99 for the first standard single-split system and £75 for each additional one. VRF, multi-split and difficult-access systems are surveyed and quoted separately.

Dental treatment is exempt from VAT, so most practices can't reclaim it on contractors' invoices. I'm not VAT-registered, so there's none on mine.

Cooling for a single surgery: single-split systems from £1,700 fitted, after a free survey.

FAQ

Dental Practice Air Conditioning Questions

Not on its own. A standard split unit recirculates the air in the room and doesn't add outdoor air, which is what fallow time depends on. That's a question for your ventilation specialist; I'll make sure the cooling works alongside the ventilation.
Yes — before the first patient, after the last, at lunchtime or on a Saturday, at no extra cost.
Twice a year for surgeries and decontamination rooms that run every day; annually for lightly used areas.
No. I'm not VAT-registered — useful, because dental practices usually can't reclaim VAT.
Yes. A single-split system starts from £1,700 fitted with no VAT, after a free survey.
A written report for each system with photographs after every visit, and leak-check records for any system that needs them.
Yes. The room is protected first, the panel comes down, and the coil, fan, tray and drain pump are cleaned and tested.
