How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Three things shape a visit in Fareham: parking, access to the outside of the building and when suits you.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Fareham

Restaurant and café kitchens in a town like Fareham gain heat fast from cooking, so they need units sized for the load and placed away from grease and steam.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

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.
Look out for these signs:
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
If your office near Fareham station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.

- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
FAQs for Fareham
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Fareham?
It can. Fareham is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Fareham?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Fareham. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Fareham council, which is normally the planning authority for Fareham.
Is Fareham in your area?
Yes. We work in Fareham and the rest of Hampshire, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
After a site survey, with a fixed-price quote. Factors include the number of areas, the system type, access and any out-of-hours or phased work.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
