Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Chartwell Green
A service is not the same as a regas. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak somewhere. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. We’re often asked to deal with weaker cooling than last year and leak check records that need bringing up to date, across multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes.
In a place like Chartwell Green, the outdoor unit often sits near a garden, hedge or trees, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Cleaning it is part of every service.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Chartwell Green can be done in one go where possible.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
FAQs for Chartwell Green
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Chartwell Green?
Yes, Chartwell Green is within the area we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few pictures.
Does my air con in Chartwell Green need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
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.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We check the label and tell you whether your system needs checks and how often.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
That is down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence, and we can explain what your brand asks for.

What we’re called out for in Chartwell Green
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 so builds up dirt more quickly.
The things we are asked about most are:
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
Schools such as Townhill Infant School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
What air conditioning won’t do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooling capacity that does not match the space
- A system short of gas because of a leak
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- VRF systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- Hold on to every service report
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can diary it for you.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs, so clear them back.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
