How the job changes from property to property

Fans and electrics

Controls and remote handsets are tested in each mode so you know it does what you ask.

Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units

With a ducted system, the unit is hidden above the ceiling. We need access to the unit, its filters and its drain so it helps to know where the access is before we arrive.

Air conditioning servicing in Ashurst

An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We service systems in Ashurst and across Kent, for most leading brands. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts.

Most systems around Ashurst need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.

Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Looking after it afterwards

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
  • Don’t wait for a small drip to become a leak
  • Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions

Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. Nothing extra is done without your say-so, so you stay in control of the cost.

Book a service at least once a year, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Ashurst

Vibration and temperature changes can loosen electrical connections over time. That can lead to intermittent faults which is why they’re checked on every service.

Any of these is worth a proper look:

  • Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
  • A unit showing a fault code
  • A musty or damp smell when the unit starts

Offices and shops near Ashurst Kent station can have their systems serviced without closing.

Air conditioning servicing in Ashurst: the local picture

The centre of Ashurst lies within a conservation area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Ashurst. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 19 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Martin of Tours (grade I). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed. About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.

Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

How it works

Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. The visit itself takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. For a place like Ashurst, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
  2. The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
  3. The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
  4. Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
  5. We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children away from the work area
  • Tell us about parking and loading
  • Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice

Ashurst: your questions answered

Can you do air conditioning servicing in Ashurst?

Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Ashurst is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.

Is Ashurst within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.

How do you keep the place clean during the work?

We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.

Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?

The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.

Can I do any of the installation myself?

Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.

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

Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for instance, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We check the label and tell you whether your system needs checks and how often.

From one of our customers

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
