How we handle air conditioning servicing in Charlton
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. If you are dealing with new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, we can help.
Commercial systems in a London area like Charlton 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 will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Report drips, smells or noises early
Once we’ve gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If you notice anything unusual, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will talk it through.
Act on the early signs. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than after a breakdown.
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Charlton
Do you cover Charlton for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Charlton is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How often should air conditioning in Charlton be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
We do. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for instance, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
What does an air con service involve?
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.

What air conditioning servicing cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning servicing, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- A system that is too small for the room it serves
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Charlton
Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
The things we’re asked about most include:
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- A service that is overdue
If you run premises near Charlton station, ask about servicing several units in one visit.
What your quote should include
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
Air conditioning servicing in Charlton: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 53% of households live in flats. If you live in a flat, mention any roof hatch, balcony or managing agent we will need to get to the outdoor unit. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools. Central Charlton is inside a conservation area. About 16 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Charlton, Charlton House (grade I) among them. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Site managers at schools like Thorntree Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

“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.”
