What air conditioning servicing cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air conditioning servicing will not do:
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work

Air conditioning servicing in Chadwell Heath
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: a musty smell, weak cooling, water dripping indoors or simply because it’s been a while. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. Common call-outs are for a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Commercial systems in a London area like Chadwell Heath may need F-gas leak checks as well as a service, depending on how much refrigerant it holds. We record the checks and tell you when the next one is due.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Chadwell Heath: your questions answered
Does my air con in Chadwell Heath need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you cover Chadwell Heath for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Chadwell Heath is one of the places we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
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 with leak checks where the rules require them.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e don’t need them.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
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 a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Before a visit in Chadwell Heath, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear access to the fuse board

Air conditioning servicing in Chadwell Heath: the local picture
About 40% of homes in Chadwell Heath and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as Crown Farmhouse (grade II). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
