Air conditioning in SO20: how it works
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. The work covers ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about expensive direct electric heating and a study or office that overheats during the day.
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
How we quote
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
Why people in SO20 choose us
- We work on all the leading brands
- Fixed-price quotes after a survey or pictures
- MCS certified for heat pumps
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Landmarks near Broughton
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around Broughton Primary School, Church of St Mary the Virgin and The Tally Ho Public House. The closest station to Broughton is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 4.3 miles south of the centre.
Air conditioning across SO20
In SO20, as across England, the same permitted development rules apply: an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools can be permitted development on a house, but cooling-only units, listed buildings and outdoor units facing a road in conservation areas need more care.
London and the South East cover everything from city flats to rural cottages. We are F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps.
Broughton: About 3.9 miles south stands Mottisfont Abbey. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Bedrooms, offices and living spaces are where wall-mounted units are most often fitted. We choose the position for even airflow and easy filter access rather than blowing straight at the bed or desk.
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork plus an access hatch for maintenance. We check that on the survey before recommending one.
Before you call an engineer
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Let filters dry fully before you put them back
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Report drips, noises or error codes right away
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.
Use sensible settings. 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.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
SO20 questions
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Is SO20 in your area?
Yes. We work in SO20 and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Typically, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
