How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Priddy's Hard can be planned properly.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Air con installers in Priddy's Hard
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, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. People searching for “air con near me” in Priddy's Hard want two things: a sensible price and someone qualified. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
Villages like Priddy's Hard often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Rented and managed buildings
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.

FAQs for Priddy's Hard
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Priddy's Hard?
It can. Priddy's Hard 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.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Priddy's Hard?
It depends on the property. Central Priddy's Hard sits inside the Priddy's Hard Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Priddy's Hard, normally Gosport council).
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
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 before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
In most cases, yes: modern splits are typically heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How we price air conditioning
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- How easy the units are to reach
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Air conditioning around Priddy's Hard
Priddy's Hard is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that won’t rust. Census 2021 figures found about 57% of households live in flats. For a flat, we look at balconies, flat roofs and rear walls for the outdoor unit, and the lease often needs checking first.
Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed. Living close to Church of St Mary? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

Why deal with it now?
Refrigerant rules have changed what new systems use. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg cannot use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
