About our air conditioning servicing in Gadebridge
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some do not. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. Typical jobs include systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and a service that’s overdue, on air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems.
A yearly service suits most systems around Gadebridge, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Questions from Gadebridge
Does my air con in Gadebridge need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Is Gadebridge in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Gadebridge is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
A service doesn’t include adding refrigerant. If a system has lost refrigerant, it has leaked from somewhere. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e don’t need them.

What else we do in Gadebridge
What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Gadebridge.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Why deal with it now?
A musty smell from the system is rarely something that clears on its own. The cure is cleaning where the dirt has built up, rather than masking it. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Why book with us
- An F-Gas certified company, as the law requires

- Leading brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Fujitsu
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
- Report drips, smells or noises early
Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. Nothing extra is done without your say-so and the decision is always yours.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that is normally back towards the indoor unit.
What a service looks like in Gadebridge
In the mile around Gadebridge’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 63% of homes in Gadebridge and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the 2021 Census found about 47% of households in terraced houses. In a terrace, the route to the back garden decides how the visit is planned.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. If you look after a school such as Galley Hill Primary School and Nursery, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
