How we handle commercial air conditioning in Durrants
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. We are often asked to deal with changes of use that need a new layout and offices that get too hot in summer, across multi-split systems, ducted systems and server and comms room cooling.
In a village like Durrants, commercial air conditioning is usually for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
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.

Questions from Durrants
Is air conditioning in Durrants permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Sir George Staunton Country Park Conservation Area is close to the centre of Durrants. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not 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 East Hampshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Durrants.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Durrants?
It can, as Durrants is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
Commercial systems are priced after a site survey. The cost depends on the size of the space, the system and how the work is phased and the quote is fixed before we begin.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Durrants and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What we do, step by step
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Durrants easier.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where needed.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear access to the fuse board
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Commercial air conditioning in Durrants: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Durrants. Commercial condensers near the coast should be checked for corrosion on every maintenance visit. There are about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 11 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within about 1.5 miles of central Durrants, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 88% of homes across Durrants and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 44% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind.
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 2 miles south-west) usually want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean. If your office near Rowlands Castle station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Diary TM44 inspections in advance
- Don’t let servicing slip
After commissioning, you get the F-gas records, handover notes and the manufacturer’s paperwork. They’ll be needed for servicing, leak checks and TM44 inspections.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem and correct settings avoid it.
What a customer said
“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.”
