FAQs for Chineham
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Chineham?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Old Basing Conservation Area is close to the centre of Chineham. 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 local planning authority (for Chineham, typically Basingstoke and Deane council).
Do you cover smaller places like Chineham?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Chineham and across Hampshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
Every commercial job is priced after a site survey. The cost depends on the size of the space, the system and how the work is phased, and you get a fixed-price quote before work starts.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
We install wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF systems. We recommend the type that suits your space.
Commercial air conditioning in Chineham
Every commercial job is 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. If the problem is fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and IT rooms that need resilient cooling, we can sort it out.
In a place like Chineham, commercial air conditioning is often for a shop, a surgery, a pub, an office unit or a farm business. Most need one to four indoor units, and we size them from a survey.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Seeing the property in photos first helps us plan the trip to Chineham.
- 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.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.

What the work involves, system by system
Ceiling cassettes
Installing a cassette needs room in the void and a way to drain the water. Many have a built-in pump to lift the condensate and that is checked when it’s serviced.
F-gas records and TM44
Keeping the paperwork up to date helps with inspections and we help you keep it organised.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
