Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Air conditioning repair in Northchurch
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that doesn’t fix it, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us. We reply to enquiries the same working day. We’re often asked to deal with rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and frost on the pipework, across ducted systems, multi-split systems and heat pumps.
In a place like Northchurch, outdoor units can be close to hedges and gardens, and leaves or grass cuttings on the coil are a common reason for poor cooling. We check the coil early on.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What else we do in Northchurch
Common questions in Northchurch
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Northchurch out of hours?
Northchurch is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Is Northchurch within the area you cover?
Yes. Northchurch is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. We read any fault code and test the system to find which and you get a fixed price before the repair.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Aftercare tips
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
After a repair, the basics matter: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Use the system sensibly. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system does not have to work as hard.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we have done and talk you through it. The visit itself takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Northchurch.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
