About our air conditioning in Arford
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. For air conditioning in Arford, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off.
Where the outdoor unit goes decides how quiet and tidy the job is: airflow, noise towards neighbours, pipe length and access for servicing all count.
Villages like Arford often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. For a place like Arford, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Questions from Arford
Will you come out to Arford?
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.
Is air conditioning in Arford permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Arford is a short walk from the Headley (Arford) Conservation Area. 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 the planning department at East Hampshire council, normally the authority for Arford when it matters.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and a position facing a road can bring extra planning considerations. We will tell you what to check before we fit it.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
In most cases. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.
System by system
Electrical supply
Most systems need their own circuit from the consumer unit. We are NICEIC approved, so we fit and certify the circuit ourselves and that covers the Part P side.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
For bigger buildings, VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor plant. VRF and larger commercial jobs are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.
Common problems we fix in Arford
Most overheating comes from heat gained through the day. Sunshine through glazing, especially on south and west-facing rooms, adds a lot of heat, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
The things we’re asked about most include:
- Fans and portables that don’t keep up
- An old system that needs replacing
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
Air conditioning in Arford: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Homes near Church of All Saints are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
