Air conditioning servicing in Bosham, done properly
A service is as much a check-up as a clean. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. If the problem is smells coming from the indoor unit and a unit showing a fault code, we can sort it out.
Around Bosham, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Servicing in Bosham: local notes
Bosham lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air settles on outdoor coils, so coastal systems benefit from regular servicing. About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. The Bosham Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Bosham. Historic England lists about 53 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Bosham, including The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity (grade I). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Schools such as Bosham Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.
Bosham is about 3 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Properties in Bosham get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we’ve finished.

Near you in Bosham

Before you call 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.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. 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.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Bosham?
The outdoor unit lives outside. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
Businesses close to Bosham station can book an early or late slot so the service does not get in the way of trade.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first

The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation, and we clear up before we go. Visits to Bosham are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

What air conditioning will not do
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up

Questions from Bosham
How often do you service systems in Bosham?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Bosham?
It can, as Bosham is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again, so we do not recommend it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
That is down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed and we will help you check what applies.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
From one of our customers
“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.”
