Air conditioning servicing in Durrants
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Durrants and the rest of Hampshire, whatever the make. If the problem is weaker cooling than last year and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, we can sort it out.
Several units at a home near Durrants can be serviced in one visit.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Durrants
How often should air conditioning in Durrants be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Durrants?
It can, as Durrants is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows, priced before work begins.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e don’t need them.
Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: 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 of the display helps even more.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- A system that is too small for the room it serves
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Looking after your system
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check the condensate pipe outside isn’t blocked or crushed
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can diary it for you.
Make sure condensate pipes outside are not crushed, blocked or buried. A pipe that’s been knocked or covered can back up into the indoor unit.

Keeping systems in Durrants running
Durrants lies within about 3 miles of the sea. A yearly service matters more near the coast, where salt speeds up corrosion on coils and fixings. The Sir George Staunton Country Park Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Durrants, within about a third of a mile. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Durrants and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Durrants, including Autumn House and Woodlands (grade II). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed. VOA council tax data date about 88% of homes in the Durrants area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 44% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, access to the rear for the outdoor unit is the main thing to tell us.
