Air conditioning servicing in Frilsham, done properly
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers VRF systems, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes.
For a home in or near Frilsham, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out 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.

What a service looks like in Frilsham
About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Frilsham, including Church of St. Frideswide (grade II*). 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.
If you look after a school such as Yattendon C.E. Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system, and we tidy up before we leave. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Frilsham.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Questions from Frilsham
Is Frilsham in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Frilsham is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Does my air con in Frilsham need a yearly service?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again, so we do not recommend it.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. 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.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- How easy the units are to reach
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.
What we need to know
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
