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. On site, it 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 of the property help us plan a visit to South Harting.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Advice
Commercial air conditioning in South Harting
Businesses cannot always stop for an installation. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before we start. We are often asked to deal with systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and missing F-gas records for commercial systems, on ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and server and comms room cooling.
In a village like South Harting, commercial air conditioning is typically for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side 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 each visit is recorded.

Cooling for South Harting businesses
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of South Harting. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule.
Churches and halls such as The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel 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. If you look after a school such as Harting CofE Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.

What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- How many units are involved
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- A single visit or a regular plan
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your installation or service records
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. 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.
Common questions in South Harting
Can you do commercial air conditioning in South Harting?
We do: South Harting falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in South Harting?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The South Harting Conservation Area takes in the middle of South Harting. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Chichester council, which is typically the planning authority for South Harting.
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 are happy to show ours.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in South Harting and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
Wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF or VRV systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Owner checks or 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 phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Let and managed properties
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
