Air conditioning servicing in Etchingwood, East Sussex
Our engineers work in Etchingwood on air conditioning servicing. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- A unit showing a fault code
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so you have the whole history together.
Make sure condensate pipes outside are not crushed, blocked or buried. A pipe that is been knocked or covered can back up into the indoor unit.
Air conditioning servicing in Etchingwood, done properly
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. The work covers ceiling cassettes, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are an unpleasant odour when the system runs and leak check records that need bringing up to date.
We plan the trip to Etchingwood and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Rented and managed buildings
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’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: 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.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. We plan the trip to Etchingwood around you.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that is been bothering you.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
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, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Common questions in Etchingwood
How often should air conditioning in Etchingwood be serviced?
A yearly visit is right for most households. 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 cover smaller places like Etchingwood?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
The service checks how the refrigerant circuit is performing, but doesn’t include adding gas. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas, priced before any work starts.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
