Why it’s worth doing now in Burham
Faults found on a service can often be put right before they cause a breakdown. Left alone, the same fault tends to show itself when you most need the system. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Burham
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, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. If you are dealing with F-gas leak checks falling due and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, we can help.
Several units at a home near Burham can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Different systems, different jobs
Fans and electrics
Both units rely on fans to move air. We check they run smoothly and quietly and clean the indoor fan where dust has built up.
Maintenance contracts
A contract helps a business keep its servicing and F-gas checks on track, with records kept for each visit.
What we’re called out for in Burham
Systems that run most of the year collect dirt faster than ones used on a few hot days. Heat pumps used for winter heating and units in busy offices, shops or kitchens get through a lot of air and so builds up dirt more quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Condensate leaking into the room
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it.
What your quote should include
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Burham
How often do you service systems in Burham?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is Burham in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Burham falls inside our working area. Just call us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. 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 holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
It depends on the brand. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A full clean and check of the system. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked with leak checks where the rules require them.
How much time does an air con service need?
It takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we will give you an idea when we book.

Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.

What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Burham so we arrive with what’s needed.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
