How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Chipping Ongar.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Maintenance contracts suit anyone who would rather not have to remember when the next service is due. The visits, the scope and the cost are fixed with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. If you’re dealing with air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and F-gas leak checks falling due, we can help.
Outdoor units around Chipping Ongar tend to be close to gardens and hedges, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Cleaning it is part of every service.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chipping Ongar
Faults found on a service can often be put right before they cause a breakdown. Left alone, the same fault tends to show itself when you most need the system. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Common questions in Chipping Ongar
Does my air con in Chipping Ongar need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. 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 Chipping Ongar?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Chipping Ongar is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows, priced before we start.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
When to call us in Chipping Ongar
Electrical terminals can work loose as the system heats, cools and vibrates. A loose connection can cause faults that come and go, so the engineer checks them as part of the service.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- A service that’s overdue
- Iced-up coils or pipework
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.
