Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early.

Owner checks or an engineer?
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 makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Driver's End.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?

Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for instance, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.

Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Keep the filters clean between visits
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
- Keep the drain outlet clear
After the service, you get a record of what was done, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork so you have the whole history together.
Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs, so clear them back.
