Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Eastwood
Will you come out to Eastwood?
Yes. Eastwood is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Eastwood?
It can, as Eastwood 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 long does an air conditioning service take?
It takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we will give you an idea when we book.
What’s the price of a yearly air conditioning service?
£95–£150 + VAT covers the annual service, confirmed before we book. If the service finds a fault, we price the repair separately and only go ahead if you agree.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we’ll confirm which band applies.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Air conditioning servicing in Eastwood
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. Typical jobs include no service record for the last year or more and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, across wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems.
Outdoor units around Eastwood tend to be close to gardens and hedges, which can clog the outdoor coil. Every service includes cleaning it.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. On many wall-mounted units, the filters lift out easily, and the manual shows how.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Eastwood.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

How the job changes from property to property
Maintenance contracts
With a contract, the number of visits, the scope and the cost are agreed in writing before the first visit. It works for one unit at home or many across a site.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
To find tCO2e, multiply the kg of refrigerant by its GWP and divide by 1,000. So 3 kg of R32 is roughly 2.0 tCO2e, and the same amount of R410A is roughly 6.3 tCO2e. We read the charge from the unit’s label and work it out for you.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- Cooling capacity that does not match the space
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you a straight answer.

What a service looks like in Eastwood
The coast is only about 3 miles from Eastwood. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 68% of homes in the Eastwood area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more. Schools such as Heycroft Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.
