Air Conditioning Servicing in West Sussex

About air conditioning servicing in West Sussex

A service is not the same as a regas. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are a service that’s overdue and a unit showing a fault code.

The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system.

  1. A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
  2. The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
  3. We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
  4. We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
  5. A final test run follows, then you get the service record.

Getting a price

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Air conditioning servicing around West Sussex

Spring is the busiest time for servicing across West Sussex, ready for summer.

Our area stretches from Greater London through Surrey, Kent and Sussex to Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and West Sussex sits within it. One phone number covers all of it. In the coastal parts of West Sussex, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.

Crawley: Businesses close to Crawley station can book an early or late slot so the service doesn’t get in the way of trade. If you look after a school such as Three Bridges Junior School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Owner checks or an engineer?

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.

Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or send an email.

What we’re called out for in West Sussex

Dust settles on the filters every time the unit is on. As they fill, less air gets through and the unit has to work harder to reach the set temperature.

It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:

  • New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
  • A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
  • Condensate leaking into the room
  • A service that’s overdue

Pricing air conditioning servicing in West Sussex

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • How many units are involved
  • What we find on the survey or diagnosis
  • The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
  • How easy the units are to reach

Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and we will explain what it covers.

Before you get in touch

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
  • Your consumer unit or fuse board
  • The remote or wall controller showing any error
  • A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number

Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Let and managed properties

Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.

West Sussex questions

How regularly should I have my air conditioning serviced?

Yearly servicing is the usual starting point and more often for systems in constant use. The manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing, so it’s worth reading them.

Do you work in West Sussex?

Yes. West Sussex is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.

Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?

Not as a routine part of the service. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.

Which manufacturers do you install and repair?

We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

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

Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled, and we can tell you where your system sits.
