How the visit works

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 attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Baldock can be done in one go where possible.

  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 gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
  4. Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
  5. If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
  • Let us know where we can park and unload
  • Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

How to get a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Advice

About our air conditioning servicing in Baldock

Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. Each brand sets its own terms and we are happy to go through them with you. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. Typical jobs include F-gas leak checks falling due and a unit showing a fault code, on VRF systems, multi-split systems and ducted systems.

Outdoor units around Baldock tend to be close to gardens and hedges, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Cleaning it is part of every service.

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. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Pricing air conditioning servicing in Baldock

Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:

  • How easy the units are to reach
  • Whether the existing supply is suitable
  • The equipment or parts the job needs

The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Before you get in touch

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
  • Any error code or flashing light on the display
  • A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

Questions from Baldock

Do you cover Baldock for air conditioning servicing?

Yes, Baldock is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.

How often do you service systems in Baldock?

Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.

What does F-Gas certified mean?

Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.

Do you provide F-Gas records?

Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.

How much time does an air con service need?

A typical service takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time and we will let you know before the visit.

What’s included in an air conditioning service?

Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. A service record follows.

Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?

We do. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.

What owners can safely do

For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. 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.

Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

What the work involves, system by system

Maintenance contracts

We tailor the schedule to how hard the system works so it fits your site.

Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units

Wall-mounted units are the most common indoor unit in homes. They open up for the filters, coil and fan to be cleaned and the drain is cleared at the same visit.

What a customer said

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
