Points to plan for in Southampton
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Leased premises
If your Southampton premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Working hours
Most Southampton businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Southampton
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Do you also cover Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh?
Yes. Alongside Southampton, we also cover Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Southampton?
All of them, including SO15. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Why not use the office air conditioning?
Office systems switch off out of hours and are sized for people, not equipment that runs 24/7. A dedicated system is more reliable and cheaper to run.
What does N+1 mean?
One more unit than you need. If one fails, the other can carry the load while it is repaired.
