About our air conditioning in Netley
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: in heating mode they work as an air-to-air heat pump, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Sizing is where cheap installs go wrong: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
A cottage and a newer house near Netley are very different jobs. Thick walls, low ceilings and beams need care with pipe routes, and a listed home needs consent before anything is fixed to it.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

The process
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Around Netley, access is normally simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
How to prepare

Getting a price
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
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%. HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts and we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

Your questions about air conditioning in Netley
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Netley?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Netley. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t 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 Netley, typically Eastleigh council).
Do you cover smaller places like Netley?
Yes. Netley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Which type of system should I choose?
It depends on the rooms and the building. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
Floor area is only part of it. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749.
What an install looks like in Netley
Netley is within about 1 mile of the coast. Some manufacturers offer anti-corrosion coated coils for coastal sites, and we will tell you if the model you choose has that option.
If you work from home near Netley station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. With historic houses such as Medieval Merchant's House about 3 miles north-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

What’s near Netley
Typical jobs here are in properties near Grove Park Business and Enterprise College, Westwood Woodland Park and The Hamble School and the streets around them. Netley has its own railway station: Netley station. Nearby you will also find Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum (2.5 miles east) and Coldeast (2.8 miles east). The countryside around Netley includes Mercury Marshes.
Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report drips, noises or error codes right away
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer so you know how to get the best from it.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
