About our air conditioning servicing in Filching
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Dust, fluff and anything else in the air ends up on those parts. A service clears it away, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. Common call-outs are for systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and warning lights on the indoor unit, across VRF systems, multi-split systems and ducted systems.
Around Filching, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Book the service at least once a year
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- Keep the drain outlet clear
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If you notice anything unusual, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will look into it.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse, and the manual shows how.
Filching: your questions answered
How often do you service systems in Filching?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Is Filching in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Filching is within the area we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few pictures.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Air conditioning servicing around Filching
About 57% of homes across Filching and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Filching, Filching Manor (grade II) among them. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed.
For a school like Willingdon Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

Well-known places in the area include Burlough Castle (2.5 miles west) and Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Combe Hill.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Filching?
The outdoor unit lives outside. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- A service that’s overdue
- Weaker cooling than last year
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

There’s very little for you to do 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.

- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
