VRF and VRV systems
Larger systems carry more refrigerant, so F-gas leak checks and records are more likely to apply. We calculate the tCO2e and plan the checks.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Little Somborne
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 handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. The work covers VRF systems, ducted systems and server and comms room cooling, and the jobs we see most are older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and workspaces that overheat on warm days.
In a village like Little Somborne, 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.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Before you call an engineer
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: 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.

Questions from Little Somborne
Do you cover Little Somborne for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Little Somborne is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Little Somborne?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Little Somborne holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. 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 Test Valley council, which is usually the planning authority for Little Somborne.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
Yes, maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and records. We agree the schedule and cost up front.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works, and we can help you prepare.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and talk you through it. 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. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Little Somborne.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
