Pricing air conditioning servicing in Erith

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
  • How far the pipework has to run, and where
  • The condition of any existing system

A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.

What to send for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
  • Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
  • Where the property is and what kind of building it is

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Erith

For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. If the problem is smells coming from the indoor unit and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, we can help.

For a flat or office in Erith, tell us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it, as that affects how long the service takes. Managed buildings may need the visit booked through the agent.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

The process

You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. A few photos of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Erith.

  1. First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
  2. We switch the system on and check it in operation.
  3. Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
  4. We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
  5. A final test run follows, then you get the service record.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
  • Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
  • Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Getting a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What air conditioning servicing can’t fix

Air conditioning servicing can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:

  • Cooling capacity that doesn’t match the space
  • Heat gains the system was never sized for
  • Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall

Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on in Erith

  • Ceiling cassettes

Servicing in Erith: local notes

In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools. The Lesney Park Road Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Erith, within about a third of a mile. 4 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Erith. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Erith, including Christ Church (grade II*). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.

If you look after a school such as Christ Church (Erith) CofE Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Businesses close to Erith station can book an early or late slot so the service does not get in the way of trade.

Erith is about 3 miles north-west of Dartford, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the DA8 postcode area, our engineers can take on air conditioning servicing. Erith is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London we cover for homes and businesses. Our Bromley page covers places nearby, about 9 miles away.

The closest recent job we can point to from Erith was on Station Road, Orpington (BR6), about 7 miles south-west: installing three Daikin cassette units in the main office area and a wall-mounted unit in the client meeting room.

Our engineers cover all of the DA8, DA17 and DA7 postcode area. You will find streets such as Church Road, Town Square and Erith High Street, each of them within reach.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us

Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

Erith: your questions answered

Does my air con in Erith need a yearly service?

Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.

Is Erith in your area for air conditioning servicing?

We do: Erith falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few pictures.

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.

Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?

Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. We agree the cost up front, and each visit is recorded.

Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?

It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.

Are you F-Gas certified?

We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.

Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?

Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

What a customer said

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
