About our air conditioning servicing in Chilworth
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. Servicing removes it, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. Typical jobs include an unpleasant odour when the system runs and condensate leaking into the room, on VRF systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
Most systems around Chilworth need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

What else we do in Chilworth
Owner checks or an engineer?
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or send an email.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. For a place like Chilworth, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear access to the fuse board

Chilworth: your questions answered
Does my air con in Chilworth 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.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Chilworth?
We do: Chilworth falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What does an air con service involve?
We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
How much time does an air con service need?
Expect it to take around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we will give you an idea when we book.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked condensate drain typically gets worse rather than better. A small drip can turn into water on the wall, the floor or the furniture, so it’s worth clearing before that happens. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

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.”
