Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Chilton
Maintenance contracts suit anyone who would rather not have to remember when the next service is due. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. The work covers ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are warning lights on the indoor unit and water dripping from the indoor unit.
We book services in Chilton at a time that suits you, and most single systems take an hour or two.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

FAQs for Chilton
Does my air con in Chilton need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Do you cover smaller places like Chilton?
Yes. Chilton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The GOV.UK rules set leak checks at least every 12 months for 5 to under 50 tCO2e and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval, and we can tell you where your system sits.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. A few pictures let us plan a visit to a place like Chilton.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Advice
From one of our customers
“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.”
