How we handle commercial air conditioning in Tipner
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. If you are dealing with staff complaining about the temperature and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, we can help.
Businesses near Tipner often have room for outdoor units on the ground at the back, which keeps them out of sight and easy to service.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone, and we clear up before we go. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Tipner.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

FAQs for Tipner
Is Tipner within the area you cover?
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.
Is air conditioning in Tipner permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 9 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Tipner. 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Portsmouth council, which is normally the planning authority for Tipner.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
What commercial work looks like in Tipner
Tipner lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air shortens the life of unprotected outdoor coils, so coastal commercial systems need the right kit and regular servicing. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 119 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 5 hotels and guest houses and about 30 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tipner. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. VOA council tax data put about 72% of homes across Tipner and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 61% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind.
Before any plant goes outside a building like St Saviour's Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
A customer’s words
“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.”
