- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
Different systems, different jobs
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. That makes it harder for the system to reach the temperature you’ve set so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. We clean the drain tray and clear the pipe so it flows properly.
Air conditioning servicing in Bassett Green, done properly
People in Bassett Green book a service for all sorts of reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. The work covers ceiling cassettes, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about a unit showing a fault code and iced-up coils or pipework.
Outdoor units around Bassett Green tend to be close to gardens and hedges, which can clog the outdoor coil. Every service includes cleaning it.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning servicing, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
If you’re not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Bassett Green when you book.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- 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.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Servicing in Bassett Green: local notes
Bassett Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. A yearly service matters more near the coast, where salt speeds up corrosion on coils and fixings. About 39% of homes in and around Bassett Green were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. The Ethelburt Avenue Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Bassett Green. In the mile around Bassett Green’s centre, 5 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Bassett Green, including Church of St Alban and Church Hall (grade II). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed.

Bassett Green questions
Is Bassett Green within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
How often do you service systems in Bassett Green?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
We do, for one unit at home or many across a site. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote and the servicing happens on time.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
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.”
