Air conditioning servicing in East Marden, done properly
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Dust, fluff and anything else in the air ends up on those parts. A service clears it away, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. If you are dealing with an unpleasant odour when the system runs and no service record for the last year or more, we can help.
For a home in or near East Marden, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to East Marden.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
- Cooling capacity that does not match the space

Let and managed properties
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.

What else we do in East Marden
Owner checks or 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 escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean 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. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
FAQs for East Marden
Is East Marden within the area you cover?
Yes. East Marden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How often do you service systems in East Marden?
For most homes, once a year. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, for homes and businesses. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We check the label and tell you whether your system needs checks and how often.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again and that is money wasted.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
Expect it to take around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
