How air conditioning servicing works in Brighton and Hove
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are no service record for the last year or more and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes.
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.

Air conditioning servicing across Brighton and Hove: local notes
Spring is the busiest time for servicing across Brighton and Hove, before the system is needed for cooling.
Brighton and Hove is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. You reach the same people wherever you are in it. Brighton and Hove includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of outdoor coils and fixings. Outdoor unit position and regular servicing both help near the sea.
Brighton: Schools such as Fairlight Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty. Businesses close to London Road (Brighton) station can book an early or late slot so the service doesn’t get in the way of trade.
Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ceiling cassettes are common in offices, shops and restaurants. The grille drops down for the filters, and the drain and pump are checked inside.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The engineer looks at how well the system is moving heat, using temperatures and pressures to see whether it’s working as it should. If something points to a leak, we tell you and set out the options.
What air conditioning servicing cannot fix
Air conditioning servicing can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brighton and Hove
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’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Common questions in Brighton and Hove
How often does air con need a service?
An annual service suits most systems. Where the system runs most of the year, more frequent servicing can help and it’s worth checking what your manufacturer recommends.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you cover Brighton and Hove?
Yes. Brighton and Hove is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. We’re based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
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 and that’s money wasted.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after each visit.
