About air conditioning in PO18
Across PO18, every installation follows the same steps: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. Typical jobs include a loft room or top floor that bakes in summer and an ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life, across wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes.
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
What affects the price in PO18
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Why book with us
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
- F-Gas certified company
- Manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote
- MCS certified for heat pumps
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Landmarks near Bosham
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The United Reformed Church, The Berkeley Arms Public House and Bosham Primary School and the streets around them. Bosham’s nearest station is Bosham station, roughly 0.8 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Chichester Cathedral Treasury (3.2 miles east) and St Richard's Hospital (3.8 miles east). Not far away are Nutborne Marshes and Stoke Down.
Air conditioning across PO18
Planning rules are the same across England, PO18 included: cooling-only units aren’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
An F-Gas certified company does the refrigerant side, while NICEIC approval covers the electrical work, in PO18 as everywhere else. PO18 includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of outdoor coils and fixings. We choose positions and fixings with that in mind.
Bosham: With historic houses such as Warblington Castle about 4.9 miles west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. If you commute from Bosham station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that’s needed.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
How we price air conditioning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
What we are called out for in PO18
Computers, screens, lighting and people all give off heat. A home office with a couple of screens, or a meeting room with a few people in it, warms up quickly, even on a mild day.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
After we’ve gone
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, or as the manual recommends, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
Set it and leave it. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.
Questions from PO18
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
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.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
