How we handle air conditioning servicing in East Hampnett
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours, and we can explain what yours says. Our service record shows the work was done. Common call-outs are for humming, rattling or squealing from the system and no service record for the last year or more, on VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.
Several units at a home near East Hampnett can be serviced in one visit.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

FAQs for East Hampnett
Is East Hampnett within the area you cover?
Yes. East Hampnett is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does my air con in East Hampnett need a yearly service?
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.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too plus a leak check on systems that need one.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. 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.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The GOV.UK rules set leak checks at least every 12 months for 5 to under 50 tCO2e and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled and we’ll confirm which band applies.
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to East Hampnett so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

What owners can safely do
Owners can handle the everyday basics: 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.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
How the job changes from property to property
Indoor and outdoor coils
Outside, the coil gives off or picks up heat. Leaves, dirt and debris clog the fins and we clean it and make sure the air can flow.
Maintenance contracts
For businesses, a contract keeps servicing and any required leak checks on schedule and each visit is recorded.
For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
