Air conditioning in PO7

We cover every part of the PO7 postcode district, which takes in Waterlooville, Purbrook and Denmead. Every job starts with a site survey and a fixed-price quote.

About air conditioning in PO7

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 our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are a portable unit with a hose out of the window and a loft conversion that’s too warm to use.

You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you.

  1. We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
  2. Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
  3. On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
  4. We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
  5. We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.

How we quote

A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.

How to get a quote

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Local landmarks in Waterlooville

We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around Saint George's, The Denmead Queen pub and Hart Plain Junior School and the streets around them. The closest station to Waterlooville is Bedhampton station, roughly 2.6 miles south-east. A little further out are Queen Alexandra Hospital (2.7 miles south-west) and Havant Museum (3.3 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Portsdown Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.

Where we install in PO7

Across PO7, from Havant, Horndean and Waterlooville to the villages, homes range from older terraces and cottages to new estates and flats. We survey every property before we quote.

Refrigerant work is done by F-gas qualified engineers for a certified company, while NICEIC approval covers the electrical work, in PO7 as everywhere else. Parts of PO7 are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on outdoor units. Outdoor unit position and regular servicing both help near the sea.

Waterlooville: Living close to Saint George's? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. About 4 miles south-east stands Warblington Castle. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

Pricing air conditioning in PO7

Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:

  • The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
  • What electrical work the job needs
  • How many units are involved
  • The condition of any existing system

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form for straight advice and a fixed price.

What we need to know

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
  • Your consumer unit or fuse board
  • Your installation or service records
  • A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Keeping the system healthy

To keep the system working properly:

  • Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
  • Never run the system with the filters out
  • Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
  • Have the system serviced once a year

Questions after the installation go to the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk it through with you.

Set it and leave it. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.

Owner checks or an engineer?

There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

When it’s something else

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning won’t do:

  • Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
  • Draughts and missing insulation
  • Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council

Common questions in PO7

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.

Can you set up regular servicing?

Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.

Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?

That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.

Do you survey before quoting?

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 I need a new electrical circuit?

Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. 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 install and certify it as part of the job.

Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?

That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.

Do you cover PO7?

Yes. Our engineers work in PO7, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
