Air Conditioning in Bassett Green
F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Bassett Green for air conditioning installation. A fixed price before we start, and a 24/7 emergency line.
- A system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
Air conditioning in Bassett Green, done properly
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. Air conditioning installation in Bassett Green starts with a site survey, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
In a smaller place like Bassett Green, most installs are in houses and cottages, often with gardens, which usually leaves room for an outdoor unit. The bigger questions are the wall construction and the route back to the consumer unit.
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. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What air conditioning will not do
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall-mounted split systems

Bassett Green: your questions answered
Is Bassett Green within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Bassett Green?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Ethelburt Avenue Conservation Area, close to central Bassett Green. 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 Southampton council, which is usually the planning authority for Bassett Green when it matters.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and we fix it after a survey or from your pictures.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How the visit works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. In a place like Bassett Green, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Getting a quote
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

What an install looks like in Bassett Green
At about 3 miles from the coast, Bassett Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that will not rust. About 39% of homes in Bassett Green and the neighbourhoods around it were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through.
South Stoneham House, about 0.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. If you work from home near Swaythling station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.

Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.

“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.”
