How the job changes from property to property
Maintenance contracts
For businesses, a contract keeps servicing and any required leak checks on schedule, with records kept for each visit.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The law requires leak checks once a system reaches 5 tCO2e, at least yearly up to 50 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Hammerpot
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit and an unpleasant odour when the system runs.
Around Hammerpot, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Keeping systems in Hammerpot running
At about 3 miles from the coast, Hammerpot is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air settles on outdoor coils, so coastal systems benefit from regular servicing. About 68% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning servicing, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Work in Hammerpot is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit

Related advice
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Hammerpot
How often should air conditioning in Hammerpot be serviced?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business 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.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Hammerpot?
It can, as Hammerpot is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
The service checks how the refrigerant circuit is performing, but does not include adding gas. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas with a fixed price for each step.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you protect the property while you 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.
When to call us in Hammerpot
Vibration and temperature changes can loosen electrical connections over time. A loose connection can cause faults that come and go, so the engineer checks them as part of the service.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- A service that’s overdue
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
Site managers at schools like St Margaret's CofE Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
