What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

About our air conditioning servicing in Durrington
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. We are often asked to deal with a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and a service that’s overdue, across multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
A yearly service suits most systems around Durrington, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. 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. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Let and managed properties
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Durrington
How often should air conditioning in Durrington be serviced?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Durrington?
It can. Durrington is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
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.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas with a fixed price for each step.
How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Because we plan from pictures or a survey, a job in Durrington can normally be finished in one visit.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

What we’re called out for in Durrington
Systems that run most of the year collect dirt faster than ones used on a few hot days. Heat pumps used for winter heating and units in busy offices, shops or kitchens get through a lot of air and so builds up dirt more quickly.
What we’re most often called about:
- Condensate leaking into the room
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
Site managers at schools like Durrington Junior School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
