Air conditioning servicing in Bower Heath
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. Common call-outs are for warning lights on the indoor unit and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes, on wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems.
Most systems around Bower Heath need servicing once a year, best done before summer.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What the work involves, system by system
Fans and electrics
Both units rely on fans to move air. The engineer listens for noise and checks for wobble or wear and cleans dust from the indoor fan.
Filters
Filters catch dust before it reaches the coil. We clean them and check for damage and we’ll say if one needs replacing.
When to call us in Bower Heath
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. That moisture traps dust, and a dirty coil and drain tray are a common source of musty smells.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- Air conditioning that is not cooling as well as it did
For a school like Sauncey Wood Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Bower Heath
Does my air con in Bower Heath need a yearly service?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Is Bower Heath within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for example, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
Not as a routine part of the service. If a system has lost refrigerant, it has leaked from somewhere. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning servicing, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

“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.”
