- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
System by system
Indoor and outdoor coils
Room air passes over the indoor coil, which takes heat out or puts it in. We clean it so air can pass through the fins and heat can pass in and out, and we look for damage or corrosion.
Condensate drains and pumps
Where water cannot drain by gravity, a condensate pump lifts it. We check the pump runs and switches as it should, because a failed pump is a common reason for drips.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Greenhithe
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. 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 tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are a system that struggles to cool on warm days and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts.
For most homes near Greenhithe, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Because we plan from photos or a survey, a job in Greenhithe can normally be finished in one visit.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

FAQs for Greenhithe
How often should air conditioning in Greenhithe be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Do you cover smaller places like Greenhithe?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. We agree the cost up front, and each visit is recorded.

Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause instead of covering it up. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.

Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork so you have the whole history together.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
