Air conditioning servicing in Down Street, East Sussex

- Water dripping from the indoor unit
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Down Street
A service is not the same as a regas. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak somewhere. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. We are often asked to deal with a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and F-gas leak checks falling due, across ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home in or near Down Street, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We plan the trip to Down Street around you.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

What a service looks like in Down Street
About 5 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Down Street, Downstreet Farmhouse (grade II) among them. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. About 42% of homes in the Down Street area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. For a school like Fletching Church of England Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Down Street questions
Do you cover Down Street for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Down Street is within the area we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Will you come out to Down Street?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Will I get records for the system?
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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How much does an air conditioning service cost?
The price for an annual service is £95–£150 + VAT. We confirm the exact figure before we book the visit and bigger systems are priced once we know what’s installed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.

- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
