Air Conditioning Servicing in Chiddingly
Need air conditioning servicing in Chiddingly? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around you, finishing with proper records.
- Iced-up coils or pipework
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Work in Chiddingly is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and 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
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Advice
Air conditioning servicing in Chiddingly, done properly
We’re asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. If the problem is an unpleasant odour when the system runs and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, we can sort it out.
We plan the trip to Chiddingly and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.

Questions from Chiddingly
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Chiddingly?
Yes, Chiddingly is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Chiddingly within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Chiddingly and across East Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What does an annual air con service cost?
The price for an annual service is £95–£150 + VAT. We confirm the exact figure before we book the visit and bigger systems are priced once we know what’s installed.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference so we’ll confirm the time when we book.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again, so we do not recommend it.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Chiddingly
Small refrigerant leaks don’t announce themselves. The system just cools or heats a little less well each year, until it can’t keep up on the hottest or coldest days.
What we’re most often called about:
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
For a school like Chiddingly Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

Before you call an engineer
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
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 phone 07833 053749.
