Keeping systems in Gatcombe running
About 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Gatcombe’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. About 14 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Gatcombe, Church of St Olave (grade I) among them. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due.

How we handle air conditioning servicing in Gatcombe
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. Each brand sets its own terms and we’re happy to go through them with you. Our service record shows the work was done. We’re often asked to deal with iced-up coils or pipework and a system that struggles to cool on warm days, on ducted systems, multi-split systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home in or near Gatcombe, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Gatcombe questions
How often do you service systems in Gatcombe?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Gatcombe?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
System by system
Indoor and outdoor coils
Outside, the coil gives off or picks up heat. Leaves, dirt and debris clog the fins and we clean it and make sure the air can flow.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
F-gas leak checks are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, at least yearly up to 50 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning servicing in Gatcombe
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Gatcombe.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

When to call us in Gatcombe
Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Weaker cooling than last year
- Condensate leaking into the room
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
If you look after a school such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- What’s in the price and what is not
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
