- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit

- No service record for the last year or more
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Castle Hill.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

How we handle air conditioning servicing in Castle Hill
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours, and we can explain what yours says. Our service record shows the work was done. If you’re dealing with air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit, we can help.
In a village like Castle Hill, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Castle Hill
How often do you service systems in Castle Hill?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Castle Hill?
Yes. Castle Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A full clean and check of the system. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.

Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 47% of homes in the Castle Hill area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. The centre of Castle Hill lies within a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 10 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Castle Hill; Castle Hill Cottages (grade II) is one. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

Common problems we fix in Castle Hill
Systems that run most of the year collect dirt faster than ones used on a few hot days. A system used for heating as well as cooling, or one in a busy workplace, sees far more running hours, and they benefit from regular attention.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
For a school like Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
Let and managed properties
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- The pipe route between the units
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
