Questions from Fareham Common
Will air conditioning in Fareham Common need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The Fareham High Street Conservation Area takes in the middle of Fareham Common. 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 local planning authority (for Fareham Common, normally Fareham council) when it matters.
Will you come out to Fareham Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Will you need to do electrical work?
In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.

A typical install in Fareham Common is an indoor unit high on an outside wall, a neat pipe run and an outdoor unit on a bracket or ground pad, with the condensate drained away safely.
In a place like Fareham Common, the outdoor unit often goes on the ground at the side or rear of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling

How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Visits to a place like Fareham Common are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Air conditioning in Fareham Common: local notes
Fareham Common is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that will not rust.
If you work from home near Fareham station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. Older streets near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
Fareham Common is about 1 mile east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Our engineers cover Fareham Common for air conditioning, along with the rest of Hampshire. Fareham Common is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work. There’s also a page for Worthing, roughly 34 miles from Fareham Common.
All of PO16 and PO14 is covered, from busy streets to back roads. Fareham Common sits on or near the A32, which makes travel easy. If you are just outside Fareham Common, we cover Wallington (1 mile north-east), Fareham (1 mile west), North Fareham (1 mile north), Boarhunt (2 miles north-east) and Crockerhill (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Gosport (3 miles south), Havant (8 miles east), Eastleigh (11 miles north-west) and Horndean (8 miles north-east).

Why deal with it now?
New systems now use lower-impact refrigerants. Since 2025, new single split systems with less than 3 kg of refrigerant cannot use F gases with a GWP above 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. R410A, used in many older systems, has a GWP of 2088. Getting the date in early helps for a job in a place like Fareham Common.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
