Garlinge: your questions answered
Does my air con in Garlinge need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you cover smaller places like Garlinge?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 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.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Air conditioning servicing in Garlinge, done properly
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We service systems in Garlinge and across Kent, whatever the make. The work covers ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are F-gas leak checks falling due and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit.
In a place like Garlinge, the outdoor unit often sits near a garden, hedge or trees, which can clog the outdoor coil. Every service includes cleaning it.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Garlinge.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Garlinge
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Honest limits
Air conditioning servicing cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- A system that is too small for the room it serves
- A system short of gas because of a leak
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
If you look after a school such as Garlinge Primary School and Nursery, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
