About our air conditioning servicing in Caldecott
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. If the problem is a system that struggles to cool on warm days and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes, we can help.
Outdoor units around Caldecott tend to be close to gardens and hedges, which can clog the outdoor coil. Every service includes cleaning it.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What air conditioning will not do
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air conditioning servicing will not do:
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
- A system short of gas because of a leak
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall-mounted split systems
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
The best time to book the next service is now, while you remember. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating although we service all year round.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.

Caldecott: your questions answered
Is Caldecott in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Caldecott is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Does my air con in Caldecott need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. 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?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing, so check the terms for your system. We’re happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
As a guide, it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Units that are hard to reach can take longer and we’ll let you know before the visit.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
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 holding less than 10 tCO2e don’t need them.
Keeping systems in Caldecott running
About 45% of homes in the Caldecott area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 35% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Terraced homes rarely have side access, so say whether we reach the back through the house, a garage or a rear lane. In the mile around Caldecott’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. For a school like Thameside Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Caldecott.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- 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.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Advice
What a customer said
“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.”
