Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Chickney
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some do not. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. We are often asked to deal with a system that struggles to cool on warm days and leak check records that need bringing up to date, on air-to-air heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.
Around Chickney, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Chickney.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- 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.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Related advice
Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Check the condensate pipe outside is not blocked or crushed
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If anything seems off, ring 07833 053749 or send an email and we will look into it.
Do not ignore small changes. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than after a breakdown.
What owners can safely do
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 a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

What a service looks like in Chickney
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 47% of homes across Chickney and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. Church Hall, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 11 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Chickney’s centre. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. A musty smell from the indoor unit is often a sign it needs a service.

What a customer said
“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.”
