About our air conditioning servicing in Ditton
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. 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. If the problem is no service record for the last year or more and a system that struggles to cool on warm days, we can help.
A yearly service suits most systems around Ditton, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Ditton.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Why act early in Ditton
Drainage problems tend to grow. What starts as a damp patch under the indoor unit can become water running down the wall, so it’s worth clearing before that happens. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

System by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
To find tCO2e, multiply the kg of refrigerant by its GWP and divide by 1,000. As an example, 3 kg of R32 comes to about 2.0 tCO2e, while 3 kg of R410A is about 6.3 tCO2e. We check the label on your system and tell you where it sits.
Fans and electrics
We test the controls, the modes and the timers so you know it does what you ask.
Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Do not wait for a small drip to become a leak
A maintenance contract takes the scheduling off your hands. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s typically back towards the indoor unit.

Questions from Ditton
How often should air conditioning in Ditton be serviced?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is Ditton in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Ditton is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
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.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again, so we don’t recommend it.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
