What owners can safely do
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 call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Air con installers in North Fareham
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. 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 can install and certify it as part of the job. Every installation in North Fareham begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
Sizing is where cheap installs go wrong: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like North Fareham. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Let and managed properties
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Why act early in North Fareham
Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and in most cases heats too, so it works for you in winter as well. Getting the date in early helps for a place like North Fareham.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

FAQs for North Fareham
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning in North Fareham?
It can. North Fareham is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. 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 I fit air conditioning in North Fareham without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of North Fareham holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for North Fareham, usually Fareham council).
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
There’s no single best type. 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
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 we’re NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
Air conditioning around North Fareham
The coast is only about 2 miles from North Fareham. That’s worth knowing for an install, as salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and fixings, so we choose the position and fixings with that in mind. About 53% of homes in the North Fareham area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. Houses usually have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind. 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.

How the visit works
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. If a lane or gateway near North Fareham is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

“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.”
