Air conditioning servicing in Abingdon-on-Thames
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours and we’re happy to go through them with you. Our service record shows the work was done. Typical jobs include a system that struggles to cool on warm days and no service record for the last year or more, across air-to-air heat pumps, multi-split systems and ducted systems.
A service in Abingdon-on-Thames typically starts with the filters and the indoor coil, then the drain, the outdoor unit and the electrics, before testing the system and checking for refrigerant leaks.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Common problems we fix in Abingdon-on-Thames
Dust settles on the filters every time the unit is on. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the unit has to work harder to reach the set temperature.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
If you look after a school such as St Nicolas Church of England Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report drips, smells or noises early
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Book the service at least once a year
A maintenance contract takes the scheduling off your hands. We agree the visits and the cost up front, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Don’t ignore small changes. Odd noises, smells and drips are cheaper to sort out before they grow than after a breakdown.
What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Drain trays can collect sludge. Cleaning them helps with drips and with musty smells.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Cassette units are set into the ceiling and blow air in several directions. The grille drops down for the filters, and the drain and pump are checked inside.

Abingdon-on-Thames: your questions answered
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in Abingdon-on-Thames?
Send us photos of the room or the system and a few details about the property. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Does my air con in Abingdon-on-Thames need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again, so we do not recommend it.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
