Common questions in Birchanger
How often should air conditioning in Birchanger be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Will you come out to Birchanger?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance plus a leak check on systems that need one.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows with a fixed price for each step.
About our air conditioning servicing in Birchanger
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is 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 multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit.
Several units at a home near Birchanger can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system.

- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.

- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Advice
What a service looks like in Birchanger
Historic England lists about 13 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Birchanger, including Church of St Mary (grade II*). 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 42% of homes in Birchanger and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 63% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. If you look after a school such as Birchwood High School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Report drips, smells or noises early
- Hold on to every service report
Where the system needs F-gas leak checks, the result is recorded and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can diary it for you.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.
