Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Lee-on-the-Solent
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
Most single-room installs in Lee-on-the-Solent are done in a day, while multi-split systems for several rooms can take longer, and we leave the room clean and the controls explained.
A cottage and a newer house near Lee-on-the-Solent are very different jobs. Thick walls, low ceilings and beams need care with pipe routes, and if the home is listed, consent comes before any work.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Why deal with it now?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, which is costly to undo. A survey now gives time to choose properly. Getting the date in early helps for a job in a place like Lee-on-the-Solent.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Never run the system with the filters out
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, or as the manual recommends, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
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.
Your questions about air conditioning in Lee-on-the-Solent
Will you come out to Lee-on-the-Solent?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Lee-on-the-Solent?
It can. Lee-on-the-Solent is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Allow anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision and position can affect planning.
