Our air conditioning service in SO15
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. Common call-outs are for fans and portables that don’t keep up and commercial rooms that are too warm for staff, on ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems.
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
What you’ll pay
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Air conditioning across SO15: local notes
Planning rules are the same across England, SO15 included: cooling-only units are not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
Enquiries from SO15 get a reply on the working day they arrive. Breakdowns can go to the 24/7 line instead. Near the coast in SO15, outdoor units last longer with shelter from sea wind and a yearly service, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.
Shirley: Living close to Shirley Parish Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. About 1.9 miles south-east stands Southampton Tudor House and Garden. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.
Common problems we fix in SO15
Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- An old system that needs replacing
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
Pricing air conditioning in SO15
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The size of the job
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
For air conditioning in SO15, phone 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some pictures if they’re to hand. We reply the same working day.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
What the work involves, system by system
Multi-split systems
With a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves two or more rooms. It’s a neat answer when space outside is limited and several rooms need it and each indoor unit has its own controls.
Outdoor unit positions
We think about noise when we choose the spot: away from bedroom windows and neighbours’ windows where possible, and on anti-vibration mounts. Position can also affect planning.
SO15 questions
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. 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.
Which type of system should I choose?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
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. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
