About our air conditioning servicing in Brentwood
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. The visits, the scope and the cost are fixed with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and people most often call us about no service record for the last year or more and smells coming from the indoor unit.
A service in Brentwood usually starts with the filters and the indoor coil, then the drain, the outdoor unit and the electrics, before testing the system and checking for refrigerant leaks.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We book visits in Brentwood at a time that suits you, and business work around your hours.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a quote

Brentwood: your questions answered
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning servicing in Brentwood?
The easiest way is to give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details and photos. Where pictures are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
Does my air con in Brentwood need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
The answer is in your manufacturer’s warranty conditions. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence, and we can explain what your brand asks for.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We check the label and tell you whether your system needs checks and how often.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Brentwood?
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.
What we’re most often called about:
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- No service record for the last year or more
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
For a school like Becket Keys Church of England School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

Indoor and outdoor coils
Coil fins are thin and easily flattened. We’ll point out damaged fins and whether they matter.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
tCO2e is the refrigerant charge in kg multiplied by its global warming potential, divided by 1,000. As an example, 3 kg of R32 comes to about 2.0 tCO2e, while 3 kg of R410A is about 6.3 tCO2e. We read the charge from the unit’s label and work it out for you.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
