Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Colt's Hill
We’re asked to service systems for many different reasons: a musty smell, weak cooling, water dripping indoors or simply because it’s been a while. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. If the problem is ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and systems that haven’t been serviced for a while, we can sort it out.
For a home in or near Colt's Hill, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.

Air conditioning servicing in Colt's Hill: the local picture
The middle of Colt's Hill is part of a conservation area. About 9 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Colt's Hill, The Bailiffs House (grade II) among them. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned.
Site managers at schools like Capel Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Colt's Hill so we arrive with what’s needed.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

What does an air con service involve?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How much does an air conditioning service cost?
The price for an annual service is £95–£150 + VAT. You will know the price before the engineer arrives, and larger multi-split, ducted or commercial systems are priced on their details.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
An annual service suits most systems. Where the system runs most of the year, more frequent servicing can help and it’s worth checking what your manufacturer recommends.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again, so we don’t recommend it.
Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Colt's Hill
Condensate has to drain away from every indoor unit. Debris in the tray or a sticky pump can stop it draining, and the water then has nowhere to go but out of the unit.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
A customer’s words
“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.”
