Air conditioning servicing in Chilson
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours, and we can explain what yours says. Our service record shows the work was done. The work covers ducted systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are F-gas leak checks falling due and humming, rattling or squealing from the system.
For a home in or near Chilson, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Questions from Chilson
Does my air con in Chilson need a yearly service?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Do you cover Chilson for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Chilson is within the area we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
Not as a routine part of the service. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. 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 do not need them.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant, and we tidy up before we leave. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Chilson easier.
- 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.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Clear access to the fuse board

Why it’s worth doing now in Chilson
A dirty filter or coil makes the system work harder for the same result. A service puts that right with a clean, and it means the system is not straining through the summer. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The law requires leak checks once a system reaches 5 tCO2e: at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. We clean the drain tray and clear the pipe so it flows properly.
Air conditioning servicing around Chilson
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. Sunnybank and Sunnybank Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 8 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Chilson’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
Water dripping from the indoor unit often traces back to a drain that needs clearing. A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.
