About our air conditioning in Hook Common
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
Villages like Hook Common often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Air conditioning in Hook Common: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 33% of homes in the Hook Common area were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
Close to Hook station? A small study or box room used for work can typically be cooled with a single indoor unit.

Before you call an engineer
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
FAQs for Hook Common
Will you come out to Hook Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Hook Common?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Hook Common. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Hook Common, usually Hart council).
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls, so check the lease. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Most systems need their own 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 install and certify it as part of the job.
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, with a fixed price before work starts.
What air conditioning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air conditioning won’t do:
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. For a village like Hook Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Common problems we fix in Hook Common
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.
Look out for these signs:
- A room that’s unbearable on warm days
- Too many options and no clear advice
- An old system that needs replacing
If your home is in one of the older streets near St John the Evangelist, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
