Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Freemantle
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. Common call-outs are for no service record for the last year or more and water dripping from the indoor unit, across wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes.
Outdoor units around Freemantle tend to be close to gardens and hedges, which can clog the outdoor coil. Every service includes cleaning it.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Around Freemantle, access is normally simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Tell us about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, 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.
Advice
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Freemantle
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Freemantle?
It can, as Freemantle is within about 1 mile 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.
Is Freemantle within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The GOV.UK rules set leak checks at least every 12 months for 5 to under 50 tCO2e and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we’ll confirm which band applies.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
Once a year as a minimum for most homes and businesses. Some also need F-gas leak checks every 12 or 6 months, depending on their size and refrigerant and we check which applies to yours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

What else we do in Freemantle
Leave it or put it right?
Faults found on a service can often be put right before they cause a breakdown. Left alone, the same fault tends to show itself when you most need the system. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.

- Electrical work covered by our NICEIC approval
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Book the service at least once a year
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can book it in ahead of time.
Make sure condensate pipes outside aren’t crushed, blocked or buried. A pipe that is been knocked or covered can back up into the indoor unit.
