Looking after it afterwards

After the visit, a few habits help:

  • Read the warranty conditions for your brand
  • Keep the filters clean between visits
  • Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling

Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. Nothing extra is done without your say-so and the decision is always yours.

Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow, so clear them back.

Air conditioning servicing in Battlesbridge

A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. 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. If the problem is leak check records that need bringing up to date and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit, we can help.

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

Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Battlesbridge can be planned properly.

  1. You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
  2. Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
  3. Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
  4. Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
  5. Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
  • Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Advice

Why deal with it now?

Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause, rather than masking it. Booking before summer means the work in Battlesbridge is done before the hot weather.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

FAQs for Battlesbridge

Is Battlesbridge in your area for air conditioning servicing?

Yes. Battlesbridge is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.

Will you come out to Battlesbridge?

Yes. Battlesbridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.

Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?

Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.

Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?

The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing and file every service record.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.

  • Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
  • A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
