Our hiring checklist

How we handle air conditioning servicing in Canning Town

Servicing covers both halves of the system: the indoor units in the rooms and the outdoor unit outside. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We service systems in Canning Town and across Greater London, for most leading brands. The work covers ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and systems that haven’t been serviced for a while.

In a London area like Canning Town, many systems run hard in summer and for heating in winter, so a yearly service keeps them efficient. Outdoor units on balconies and roofs pick up city dust and debris, and a clean coil cools better.

Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Canning Town questions

How often do you service systems in Canning Town?

Usually 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.

Can you do air conditioning servicing in Canning Town?

Yes, Canning Town is within the area we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 with a few details.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.

Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?

The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing, and keep each service record with the warranty paperwork.

Do you top up refrigerant during a service?

The service checks how the refrigerant circuit is performing, but does not include adding gas. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas with a fixed price for each step.

What happens on the day

We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Canning Town.

  1. We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
  2. The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
  3. Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
  4. Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
  5. A final test run follows, then you get the service record.

Preparing for the visit

  • Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
  • Let us know where the consumer unit is
  • Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

How to get a quote

Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Air conditioning servicing around Canning Town

About 38% of homes in Canning Town and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 60% of households live in flats. If you live in a flat, mention any roof hatch, balcony or managing agent we will need to get to the outdoor unit. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools. On the National Heritage List, around 3 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Canning Town; Warehouse K (grade II) is one. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.

If you look after a school such as Rosetta Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Why it’s worth doing now in Canning Town

Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause instead of covering it up. Allow time for any approvals your building in Canning Town needs.

Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
