How the job changes from property to property
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Cassette units are set into the ceiling and blow air in several directions. The grille drops down for the filters, and the drain and pump are checked inside.
Indoor and outdoor coils
Coil fins are thin and easily flattened. We note any damage and tell you if it’s affecting performance.
Air conditioning servicing in Guston, done properly
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are no service record for the last year or more and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts.
We plan the trip to Guston and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

FAQs for Guston
Will you come out to Guston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How often do you service systems in Guston?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. A service record follows.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Why it’s worth doing now in Guston
Some manufacturers may set conditions on their warranties, and servicing may be among them. If servicing is one of the terms, a missing service record could matter if you ever need to make a claim. We will explain what your brand’s terms say. For a village like Guston, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.

Air conditioning servicing around Guston
The coast is only about 2 miles from Guston. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. The 2021 Census found about 51% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, access to the rear for the outdoor unit is the main thing to tell us. The middle of Guston is part of a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Martin of Tours (grade II*). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

What we do, step by step
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Guston so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- 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.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Guston
When the system cools, water condenses on the indoor coil. Dust sticks to a wet surface, and over time the coil and drain tray can get dirty enough to smell.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
If you look after a school such as Duke of York's Royal Military School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
