Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Broad Colney
Is Broad Colney within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How often should air conditioning in Broad Colney be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
About our air conditioning servicing in Broad Colney
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. 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. Common call-outs are for a unit showing a fault code and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, on multi-split systems, ducted systems and VRF systems.
We plan the trip to Broad Colney and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

- 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.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If anything seems off, call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will talk it through.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse, and the manual shows how.

For landlords and property managers
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Broad Colney and across Hertfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
