Air conditioning servicing across Hackington

Air conditioning servicing in Hackington

A service is as much a check-up as a clean. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. If you are dealing with no service record for the last year or more and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, we can sort it out.

Several units at a home near Hackington can be serviced in one visit.

Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Keeping systems in Hackington running

About 43% of homes in and around Hackington date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Hackington’s centre falls inside the Tyler Hill Conservation Area. 5 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Hackington. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Hackington, including Tyler Hill House (grade II). 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.

Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

  • Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
  • Installation faults that need reworking
  • Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Air-to-air heat pumps
  • VRF systems
  • Wall-mounted split systems
  • Multi-split systems
  • Ducted systems
  • Ceiling cassettes

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Hackington

When the system cools, water condenses on the indoor coil. That moisture traps dust, and a dirty coil and drain tray are a common source of musty smells.

Common reasons people call us include:

  • Leak check records that need bringing up to date
  • Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
  • A unit showing a fault code

For a school like The Archbishop's School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

What to look for in a quote

  • Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
  • Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
  • Whether the quote is a fixed price

Questions to ask before booking

Leave it or put it right?

A service costs a set price and fits around your diary. A fault picks its own moment, so a planned visit is the easier option. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.

One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Why book with us

  • Listed on Checkatrade
  • Warranty terms set out brand by brand
  • Fixed-price quotes after a survey or pictures
  • A 24/7 emergency line

How the visit works

Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant, and we clear up before we go. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Hackington.

  1. We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
  2. The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
  3. Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
  4. Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
  5. We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know where the consumer unit is
  • Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
  • Mention any parking restrictions near the property
