How the visit 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. On site, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. If a lane or gateway near Bicknacre is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Bicknacre
Servicing does not mean topping up refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak somewhere. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. The work covers ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit and an unpleasant odour when the system runs.
In a village like Bicknacre, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Common questions in Bicknacre
Does my air con in Bicknacre need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Bicknacre?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Bicknacre is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time, and we will tell you in advance.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing and file every service record.
What does an air con service involve?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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 will work out which band applies to yours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
A customer’s words
“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.”
