About our air conditioning servicing in Cross in Hand
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. Common call-outs are for systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and smells coming from the indoor unit, on wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps.
Around Cross in Hand, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Keep the drain outlet clear
Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. We do not carry out extra work until you’ve agreed it and the decision is always yours.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse and the user manual explains how often.

FAQs for Cross in Hand
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Cross in Hand?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Cross in Hand is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover smaller places like Cross in Hand?
Yes. Cross in Hand is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
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 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 make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference so we will confirm the time when we book.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. If a lane or gateway near Cross in Hand is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. 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.
