Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Preston Candover
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’re not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. If the problem is staff complaining about the temperature and server rooms running too warm, we can sort it out.
Around Preston Candover, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
- Plan regular servicing with a contract
If anything doesn’t feel right after the install, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will look into it. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Blocked filters and obstructed outdoor units make the system work harder.

Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time.

Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Preston Candover
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- How many units are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Before you get in touch
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
To get a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and tell us about the property and what you need. A few photos make it quicker. You will hear back from us the same working day.

FAQs for Preston Candover
Do you cover smaller places like Preston Candover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will air conditioning in Preston Candover need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Preston Candover is in the Preston Candover Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Preston Candover, typically Basingstoke and Deane council).
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
