Old Alresford questions
Is Old Alresford within the area you cover?
Yes. Old Alresford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I fit air conditioning in Old Alresford without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 17 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Old Alresford. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Winchester City council, typically the authority for Old Alresford.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How we handle commercial air conditioning in Old Alresford
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. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. Common call-outs are for workspaces that overheat on warm days and leak check schedules that have slipped, across multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems.
For a business near Old Alresford, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How the job changes from property to property
VRF and VRV systems
With VRF or VRV, one set of outdoor units serves many indoor units. Each zone can be controlled separately making it a common choice for larger buildings.
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate. Many have a built-in pump to lift the condensate, which we check on every service.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Old Alresford easier.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

What we’re called out for in Old Alresford
When a space is refitted or its use changes, the old layout may no longer work. New partitions, more staff or different equipment change the heat load and the system needs to match the new layout.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- IT rooms that need resilient cooling
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
Churches and halls such as Church of St Mary are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.
Questions to ask before booking
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- What’s in the price and what is not
When it’s something else
Commercial air conditioning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
- Boiler installation or repair
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
