What happens on the day
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. The work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Lowford.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- 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.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Commercial air conditioning in Lowford, done properly
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Lowford and the rest of Hampshire. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. If the problem is workspaces that overheat on warm days and commercial systems near the end of their life, we can help.
For a business in or near Lowford, an air-to-air system can heat and cool, useful where old heaters struggle.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Cooling for Lowford businesses
The coast is only about 2 miles from Lowford. Rooftop and wall-mounted plant near the sea needs protecting from salt air, through position, coil coatings where available and regular maintenance. There are about 37 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 15 schools and colleges and about 27 care, childcare and hospital premises in and around Lowford, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
Before any plant goes outside a building like St Paul’s Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. Schools such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School usually have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

Common questions in Lowford
Will you come out to Lowford?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Lowford?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Lowford. 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 Lowford, typically Eastleigh council).
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
We price commercial work after visiting the site. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work, and the quote you get is fixed.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
We’re not accredited energy assessors, so we do not inspect. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.

What else we do in Lowford
For landlords and property managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Don’t wait for small faults to become breakdowns
- Budget for replacing ageing plant
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
Handover includes a walk-through of the controls, so the system is run the way it was designed. Simple settings make a real difference to comfort and running.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
