How we handle commercial air conditioning in Bosham
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’re not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. If the problem is ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and TM44 recommendations that need acting on, we can help.
Around Bosham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Cooling for Bosham businesses
Bosham is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air shortens the life of unprotected outdoor coils, so coastal commercial systems need the right kit and regular servicing. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 3 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bosham. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around St Richard's Hospital (about 3.8 miles east) usually want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean. Schools such as Bosham Primary School normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

Questions from Bosham
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Bosham?
It can. Bosham is within about 2 miles 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 air conditioning in Bosham permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Bosham Conservation Area is close to the centre of Bosham. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Chichester council, typically the authority for Bosham.
Which brands do you work with?
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 tell you why.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. It means the system and the programme fit your building, and the quote you get is fixed.
Is Bosham in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Bosham, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
What affects the quote in Bosham
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
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.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
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.
What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. For a village like Bosham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
