Air conditioning servicing across Fair Oak

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Fair Oak

A service is as much a check-up as a clean. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes and leak check records that need bringing up to date.

Most systems around Fair Oak need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.

Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Questions from Fair Oak

Do you cover smaller places like Fair Oak?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.

Do you cover Fair Oak for air conditioning servicing?

We do: Fair Oak falls inside our working area. Just call us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.

Which brands do you work with?

We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.

Do you top up refrigerant during a service?

A service doesn’t include adding refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.

How soon will you get back to me?

You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

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

The requirement starts at 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.

What we are called out for in Fair Oak

Vibration and temperature changes can loosen electrical connections over time. A loose connection can cause faults that come and go, so the engineer checks them as part of the service.

Look out for these signs:

  • A service that’s overdue
  • Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
  • Condensate leaking into the room

Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
  • Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
  • Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved

For landlords and property managers

Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

After we have gone

Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:

  • Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
  • Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
  • Shut doors to the room so the system isn’t cooling the whole house

Where the system needs F-gas leak checks, the result is recorded, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.

An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.

What we do, step by step

Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Fair Oak.

  1. You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
  2. Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
  3. The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
  4. We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
  5. If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
  • Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
  • Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
