Rented and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Chilbolton
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Chilbolton and the rest of Hampshire. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands, and each one gets a system chosen for how the space is used. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down.
For a hall or similar building near Chilbolton, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Review older R410A systems before they need major repairs
- Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions, so you know what’s needed.
Good records make inspections and audits easier. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.
Chilbolton questions
Is Chilbolton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Chilbolton?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Chilbolton Conservation Area is close to the centre of Chilbolton. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Test Valley council, normally the authority for Chilbolton.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Can you work around our opening hours?
Yes. We fit the installation around when the building is in use and phase it where necessary.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
As a guide, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Out-of-hours and phased work can spread the programme though it keeps disruption down.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out and we can help before and after.
What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Somewhere like Chilbolton, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where needed.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
