Air conditioning servicing across East Sussex: what to expect

For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are an unpleasant odour when the system runs and humming, rattling or squealing from the system.

Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant.

  1. We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
  2. The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
  3. Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
  4. Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
  5. Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.

For landlords and property managers

Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.

Before you call an engineer

There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

Aftercare tips

Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:

  • Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
  • Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
  • Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
  • Read the warranty conditions for your brand

A maintenance contract takes the scheduling off your hands. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote, and we get in touch when the next one is due.

Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow, so clear them back.

What happens if it’s left?

Check your manufacturer’s warranty conditions before letting servicing lapse. If yours does, a gap in the service history could matter if a fault comes up later. We can go through the terms with you.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
  • What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
  • Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
  • Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why

Common questions in East Sussex

Who is responsible for leak checks?

Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. 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.

Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?

We do. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.

Are you F-Gas certified?

F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.

What’s included in an air conditioning service?

We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance plus a leak check on systems that need one.

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
