Air conditioning servicing across Reading: what to expect
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. Common call-outs are for weaker cooling than last year and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, across wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
What you will pay
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Air conditioning servicing around Reading
Across Reading, from Caversham, Norcot and West Reading to the villages, we service home and business systems. A yearly service suits most homes, and business systems may also need F-gas leak checks.
Message us from anywhere in Reading and you’ll hear back the same working day. For a breakdown, use the 24/7 line.
Caversham: If you look after a school such as The Hill Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.
Signs you need air conditioning servicing
Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, dirt and debris collect on the coil and around the casing and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- Weaker cooling than last year
- A unit showing a fault code
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a small drip to become a leak
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
Once we have gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If anything seems off, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will look into it.
Book a service at least once a year, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Reading
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Before you call an engineer
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
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 electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
FAQs for Reading
Do you work in Reading?
Yes. Reading is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Check your brand’s conditions, which may mention servicing, and keep each service record with the warranty paperwork.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
We recommend an annual service and more often for systems in constant use. The manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing, so it’s worth reading them.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
