Air Conditioning Servicing in Catherington
Air conditioning servicing in and around Catherington, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off and a fixed price agreed before we start.

- Condensate leaking into the room
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
Air conditioning servicing in Catherington
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 carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Catherington and the rest of Hampshire, for most leading brands. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are condensate leaking into the room and weaker cooling than last year.
For a home in or near Catherington, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
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.

About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. Catherington’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Catherington Conservation Area. About 5 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Catherington, Church of All Saints (grade II*) among them. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
If you can’t remember the last service, it’s probably due. Schools such as Catherington Church of England Infant School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

How the job changes from property to property
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Wall-mounted units are the most common indoor unit in homes. Filters and covers come off easily for cleaning, and the drain is checked at the same time.
Filters
Filters catch dust before it reaches the coil. We clean them and check for damage and we will say if one needs replacing.
Before you call an engineer
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: 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 send an email.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
FAQs for Catherington
Do you cover smaller places like Catherington?
Yes. Catherington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does my air con in Catherington need a yearly service?
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
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.
What does an air con service involve?
A full clean and check of the system. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Check your brand’s conditions, which may mention servicing and file every service record.
After we have gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Shut doors to the room so the system isn’t cooling the whole house
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If anything seems off, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will talk it through.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s usually back towards the indoor unit.

“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.”
