Commercial air conditioning in Keyhaven, done properly
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about IT rooms that need resilient cooling and new tenancies needing cooling and heating.
Around Keyhaven, there’s usually space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Keyhaven: your questions answered
Can I fit air conditioning in Keyhaven without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Keyhaven is in the Keyhaven Conservation Area. 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 isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask New Forest council, which is usually the planning authority for Keyhaven.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Keyhaven?
It can, as Keyhaven 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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK and we will help with the system side.
