FAQs for Caterham
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Caterham?
We do: Caterham falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning servicing in Caterham?
Send us pictures of the room or the system and a few details about the property. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
Yearly servicing is the usual starting point, with more visits for systems that run a lot. The manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing, so it’s worth reading them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
About our air conditioning servicing in Caterham
A service is as much a check-up as a clean. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. If you’re dealing with weaker cooling than last year and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit, we can help.
Around Caterham, we service home systems and business ones. Once a year suits most homes, while hard-working business systems may need more.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

How we price air conditioning servicing
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The address and the type of property
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Want a quote for air conditioning servicing? Please call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details about the property. We will talk you through the options and give you a fixed-price quote before you commit to anything.
Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the filters clean between visits
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Book the service at least once a year
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. Nothing extra is done without your say-so, so you stay in control of the cost.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.

Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
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 the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Most visits to homes in Caterham are booked for a weekday, with businesses fitted around trading.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
