- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
Let and managed properties
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Air conditioning installation in Hillyfields
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 con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Southampton.
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.
In a place like Hillyfields, the outdoor unit often goes on the ground at the side or rear of the house, where it’s out of sight from the road and easy to service.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Hillyfields.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Your questions about air conditioning in Hillyfields
Is Hillyfields in your area for air conditioning?
We do: Hillyfields falls inside our working area. To start, phone 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Hillyfields?
It can, as Hillyfields is within about 2 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.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Allow about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Looking after your system
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
If anything is not right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code and we’ll help you sort it out.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
Air conditioning in Hillyfields: the local picture
Hillyfields is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that will not rust. VOA council tax data date about 43% of homes in the Hillyfields area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 35% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Terraces have little side access, so the outdoor unit typically goes on the rear wall or a flat roof, with the pipe run kept short.
Around All Saints, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

Signs you need air conditioning in Hillyfields
Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. An open window doesn’t always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, especially on a still night.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Too many options and no clear advice
- Expensive direct electric heating
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
With historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden about 3.7 miles south-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

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.”
