Air conditioning servicing in Arundel
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. Common call-outs are for smells coming from the indoor unit and air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did, on air-to-air heat pumps, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes.
Outdoor units around Arundel tend to be close to gardens and hedges, which can clog the outdoor coil. Cleaning it is part of every service.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

How we price air conditioning servicing
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The size of the job
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or send an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Keeping systems in Arundel running
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Arundel, you reach the Arundel Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 193 within half a mile of the centre, such as Fitzalan Chapel (grade I). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. About 36% of homes in Arundel and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
For an office near Arundel station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours.

FAQs for Arundel
Does my air con in Arundel need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Is Arundel within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Arundel and across West Sussex. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
We do, for one unit at home or many across a site. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. 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.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your 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. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Arundel can be done in one go where possible.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about parking and loading

Advice
Nearby places to Arundel
Also in Arundel
Owner checks or an engineer?
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Arundel?
Small refrigerant leaks do not announce themselves. Performance drops slowly and only becomes obvious when the weather is at its extreme.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
Schools such as St Philip's Catholic Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.
