Commercial air conditioning in Lovedean, done properly
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them with the cost agreed up front. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. Common call-outs are for installs that must fit around trading hours and older systems that can’t keep up, on ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and server and comms room cooling.
For a hall or similar building near Lovedean, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What owners can safely do
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. 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.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.

What else we do in Lovedean
How we price commercial air conditioning
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. If a lane or gateway near Lovedean is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Cooling for Lovedean businesses
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within about 1.5 miles of central Lovedean. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
For a school like Woodcroft Primary, air conditioning work is best done out of term. For a surgery or clinic in the Havant War Memorial Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.

FAQs for Lovedean
Do you cover Lovedean for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Lovedean is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will air conditioning in Lovedean need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Lovedean. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t 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 East Hampshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Lovedean.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book, and we’re happy to show ours.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally 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.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
The work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to book it.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
