Common questions in Ham
How often should air conditioning in Ham be serviced?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Ham?
Yes. Ham is one of the places we cover. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How much time does an air con service need?
It takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we will give you an idea when we book.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Ham
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are water dripping from the indoor unit and leak check records that need bringing up to date.
Systems in Ham often run in both summer and winter, which is a good reason for a yearly service. In London, outdoor coils collect dust, grime and leaves, which a service clears.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

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. We drop the grille to clean the filters and check the condensate pump.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The engineer looks at how well the system is moving heat, using temperatures and pressures to see whether it’s working as it should. If something points to a leak, we tell you and set out the options.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What a service looks like in Ham
Central Ham is inside the Ham Common Conservation Area. There are 12 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Ham. On the National Heritage List, around 49 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Ham; Manor House (grade II*) is one. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. About 63% of homes in the Ham area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 40% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Terraced homes rarely have side access, so say whether we reach the back through the house, a garage or a rear lane. City dust and debris build up on London outdoor units, which is why servicing matters.
Site managers at schools like Meadlands Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday. Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

What else we do in Ham
After we’ve gone
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Hold on to every service report
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
After the service, you get a record of what was done, with the checks carried out and anything we’d recommend. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so the service history is in one place.
Make sure condensate pipes outside aren’t crushed, blocked or buried. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s usually back towards the indoor unit.
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. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Ham.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
