Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Do not wait for a small drip to become a leak
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
Once we have gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If you notice anything unusual, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us and we will talk it through.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse, and the manual shows how.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Carlton Hill
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We service systems in Carlton Hill and across Brighton and Hove, for most leading brands. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and leak check records that need bringing up to date.
A yearly service suits most systems around Carlton Hill, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
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. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Why deal with it now?
When air cannot get through the unit easily, the system has to run longer to get there. A service puts that right with a clean, and it means the system isn’t straining through the summer. Booking before summer means the work near Carlton Hill is done before the hot weather.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

Carlton Hill: your questions answered
How often do you service systems in Carlton Hill?
For most homes, once a year. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Will you come out to Carlton Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
The service checks how the refrigerant circuit is performing, but doesn’t include adding gas. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows with a fixed price for each step.
What does an air con service involve?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.

Carlton Hill lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. About 62% of homes across Carlton Hill and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 68% of households live in flats. If you live in a flat, mention any roof hatch, balcony or managing agent we’ll need to get to the outdoor unit. The middle of Carlton Hill is part of the Carlton Hill Conservation Area. In the mile around Carlton Hill’s centre, 12 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 441 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Corn Exchange and Dome Theatre (grade I). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed.
For a school like Carlton Hill Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term. If you run premises near Brighton station, ask about servicing several units in one visit.
