What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing

Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Air conditioning servicing in Graveney, done properly
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. Common call-outs are for frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes and a unit showing a fault code, on multi-split systems, ducted systems and VRF systems.
Most systems around Graveney need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. For a place like Graveney, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that is been bothering you.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
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.

Common questions in Graveney
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Graveney?
It can. Graveney is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Does my air con in Graveney need a yearly service?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
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 under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
A full clean and check of the system. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Servicing in Graveney: local notes
At about 2 miles from the coast, Graveney is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. Graveney’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Graveney Bridge Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Graveney and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Church of All Saints, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 11 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Graveney’s centre. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. About 39% of homes in and around Graveney were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
If you look after a school such as Graveney Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

Different systems, different jobs
Maintenance contracts
A maintenance contract sets out the visits, what each covers and the price before the first visit. It suits homes and businesses alike.
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so it flows properly.
Why deal with it now?
If your system needs F-gas leak checks, they aren’t optional. Missing one leaves you without the check and the record, and it’s simpler to keep to the schedule. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
