About air conditioning in PO38

A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. The work covers ducted systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are portable units that are noisy and barely cope and working from home in a room that gets too warm.

Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.

  1. First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
  2. The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
  3. On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
  4. We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
  5. Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.

Landmarks near Ventnor

We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The Blenheim pub, St Catherine's Church and St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary Academy and the streets around them. The closest station to Ventnor is Shanklin station, about 3 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (3 miles north-east) and Longshoremans Museum (under half a mile south). Open spaces near Ventnor include Alverstone Mead and St Boniface Down.

Where we install in PO38

From Ventnor, Niton and Wroxall outwards, PO38 has every kind of home. We survey every property before we quote.

From London flats to coastal homes and country cottages, London and the South East have every kind of property. We’re F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps. PO38 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.

Ventnor: If your home is in one of the older streets near St Catherine's Church, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. With historic houses such as Rylstone Manor about 2.6 miles north-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

What owners can safely do

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.

Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Keeping the system healthy

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Report drips, noises or error codes right away
  • Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
  • Refit filters properly after cleaning
  • Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean

The work area is left tidy: sheets removed, packaging cleared up and pipe holes sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed, so the job looks as tidy as it works.

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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in PO38

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.

When it’s something else

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
  • A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
  • Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)

Questions from PO38

Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?

Most of the time. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.

Are you F-Gas certified?

F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.

Do you work on all makes?

We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes. 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 agree what happens next.

How do I know what size unit to get?

Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy, so we explain why we have chosen a particular output.

Can landlords and managing agents book you?

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.

What warranty do I get?

The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
