Commercial air conditioning in Bitterne Manor, done properly
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about leak check schedules that have slipped and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down.
For a business in or near Bitterne Manor, an air-to-air system can heat and cool, useful where old heaters struggle.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What we are called out for in Bitterne Manor
The GB phase-down is reducing HFC supply, so refrigerants like R410A are getting scarcer and dearer for top-ups. Repairs on existing R410A systems remain legal though it’s worth bearing in mind when planning ahead.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
- Buildings that can’t close for the work
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
If you look after a school such as Bitterne Manor Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
Leave it or put it right?
Phased and out-of-hours installs cost planning time, but they keep the business running. Leaving it until a system fails can mean urgent work at the worst moment. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us
- NICEIC approved for electrical work
- Covering London and the South East
- F-Gas company certification
- MCS certified for heat pumps

Bitterne Manor questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bitterne Manor?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is air conditioning in Bitterne Manor permitted development?
It depends on the property. Around 8 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Bitterne Manor. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Bitterne Manor, usually Southampton council) when it matters.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
