The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Somewhere like Setley, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- 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.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

About our air conditioning in Setley
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
In a village like Setley, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What else we do in Setley
Managing agents and facilities teams in Setley
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
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 arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Why deal with it now?
The outdoor unit’s position is worth getting right first time. A good position keeps noise down and leaves room for servicing, and it can make a difference to planning. We agree it with you on the survey. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

What an install looks like in Setley
Census 2021 figures found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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.
Living close to Church of St Nicholas? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. If you commute from Brockenhurst station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed.
Setley is about 4 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Our engineers cover Setley for air conditioning, along with the rest of Hampshire. Our list for Hampshire has 683 entries and Setley is among them. The nearest of our city pages is Worthing, around 51 miles from Setley.

Different systems, different jobs
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so any extra electrical work is on the quote rather than a surprise on the day. Older boards sometimes need more work to take a new circuit and we’ll tell you if yours does.
Pipework and condensate drains
Cooling produces water as the air is dried, which the condensate drain takes away. If gravity will not do it, a condensate pump is fitted and we allow for that in the quote.
Your questions about air conditioning in Setley
Can you do air conditioning in Setley?
Yes, Setley is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Will air conditioning in Setley need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 6 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Setley. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Setley, usually New Forest council).
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 talk you through the next steps.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
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 explain why.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
In many cases, but permissions come first. You will usually need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route and the lease will say. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
From one of our customers
“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.”
