Common questions in Chilworth Old Village
Do you cover smaller places like Chilworth Old Village?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit air conditioning in Chilworth Old Village without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Chilworth Old Village Conservation Area is close to the centre of Chilworth Old Village. 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 Test Valley council, which is typically the planning authority for Chilworth Old Village when it matters.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work, and the quote you get is fixed.
Commercial air conditioning in Chilworth Old Village
Commercial systems are commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, then send a fixed-price quote. That way the system fits the site and the price is clear before work starts. The work covers server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about staff complaining about the temperature and work raised by a TM44 inspection.
Around Chilworth Old Village, 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.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, 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.

Advice
Safe owner checks
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Do not 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.

What we are called out for in Chilworth Old Village
When a space is refitted or its use changes, the old layout may no longer work. More people, new walls or extra equipment alter what the system has to cope with, and the system has to match.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Changes of use that need a new layout
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Princess Anne Hospital (about 2.3 miles south) typically want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
