About our air conditioning in Durrants
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. For air conditioning in Durrants, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Hampshire.
The electrics are part of the job: a dedicated circuit where the unit needs one, certified under NICEIC, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Homes around Durrants typically have room outside for an outdoor unit. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Durrants questions
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Durrants?
It can, as Durrants is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Will you come out to Durrants?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Allow a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What we are called out for in Durrants
Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A small office or a busy room can warm up fast with equipment and people in it, even on a mild day.
What we are most often called about:
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
Warblington Castle, about 2.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

Homes in Durrants and air conditioning
Durrants is within about 3 miles of the coast. That is worth knowing for an install, as salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and fixings, so we choose the position and fixings with that in mind. About 88% of homes in Durrants and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 44% of households in terraced houses. Homes of that age typically have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. With a terrace, the back wall or an extension roof is typically the best place for the outdoor unit. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Durrants, you reach the Sir George Staunton Country Park Conservation Area. 3 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Durrants. Autumn House and Woodlands, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 6 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Durrants’s centre. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the local planning authority (typically East Hampshire council) has the final say on what’s allowed.
If your home is in one of the older streets near St John the Baptist, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system, and we clear up before we go. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Durrants easier.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Why act early in Durrants
For homeowners, timing can matter for VAT: HMRC zero-rates the installation of energy-saving materials in homes until 31 March 2027, after which the rate becomes 5%. Whether a particular system qualifies depends on the facts and we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Durrants.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
