Air conditioning servicing across Kent: what to expect

An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, ducted systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and no service record for the last year or more.

Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant.

  1. We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
  2. Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
  3. The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
  4. We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
  5. Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.

Servicing across Kent

Across Kent, most people book a service in spring, before the system is needed for cooling.

From London flats to coastal homes and country cottages, London and the South East have every kind of property. We’re F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps. Parts of Kent are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on outdoor units. We choose positions and fixings with that in mind.

Maidstone: If you look after a school such as South Borough Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Offices and shops near Maidstone West station can have their systems serviced without closing.

Why deal with it now?

If your system needs F-gas leak checks, they aren’t optional. Missing one leaves you without the check and the record and it’s far easier to stay on schedule.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the quote is a fixed price
  • What records you get at the end
  • Whether extra work needs your approval first
  • Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing

For landlords and property managers

Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

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 are happy to deal with whoever it is.

Signs you need air conditioning servicing

The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. That moisture traps dust, and a dirty coil and drain tray are a common source of musty smells.

Reasons to give us a call include:

  • F-gas leak checks falling due
  • Air conditioning that is not cooling as well as it did
  • A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
  • Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit

What air conditioning servicing can’t fix

Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
  • Installation faults that need reworking
  • A system short of gas because of a leak

Common questions in Kent

Which accreditations do you hold?

We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.

Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?

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 holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.

Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?

Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after every visit.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.

Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?

Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again and that’s money wasted.
