Air conditioning servicing in Botley, Hampshire
Air conditioning servicing in and around Botley, from the first look to the final check and a fixed price agreed before we start.
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
- A service that is overdue
The process
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Botley.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Air conditioning servicing in Botley, done properly
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, and the servicing happens on schedule. If you’re dealing with F-gas leak checks falling due and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
For most homes near Botley, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Botley: your questions answered
Will you come out to Botley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Botley for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Botley is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How much time does an air con service need?
Expect it to take around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
What’s the price of a yearly air conditioning service?
From £95 to £150 + VAT for the annual service, confirmed before we book. If the service finds a fault, we price the repair separately and only go ahead if you agree.
Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
- Keep the drain outlet clear
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse and the user manual explains how often.
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning servicing in Botley
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

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.”
