Rented and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
About our air conditioning servicing in Cressing
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. Common call-outs are for a service that’s overdue and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit, across air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
In a village like Cressing, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What else we do in Cressing
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Cressing?
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. That moisture traps dust, and a dirty coil and drain tray are a common source of musty smells.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
- 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
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or email us.
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.
FAQs for Cressing
How often should air conditioning in Cressing be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Will you come out to Cressing?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Any repair found on the day is priced and agreed before it’s done, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book.
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 I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing so it’s worth reading yours. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
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. From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
