Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Hamble-le-Rice
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. Common call-outs are for missing F-gas records for commercial systems and installs that must fit around trading hours, on wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
Around Hamble-le-Rice, commercial jobs are normally a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Most need one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. 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. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- What kind of system it is
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The brand, model and parts involved
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Advice
Questions from Hamble-le-Rice
Can I fit air conditioning in Hamble-le-Rice without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Hamble Conservation Area, close to central Hamble-le-Rice. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Hamble-le-Rice, typically Eastleigh council).
Does being near the sea make a difference to commercial air conditioning in Hamble-le-Rice?
It can, as Hamble-le-Rice is within about 1 mile 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.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
As a guide, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it but keeps the business running.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

Do you need commercial air conditioning in Hamble-le-Rice?
Heat builds up in commercial spaces from occupants, equipment, lighting and sunshine, and opening windows doesn’t always help. A system sized for the real heat load deals with it.
Look out for these signs:
- Buildings that can’t close for the work
- TM44 recommendations that need acting on
- Older systems that cannot keep up
If you look after a church or hall such as Church of St Andrew, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.
Before you book anyone
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
