Air conditioning servicing in Harpsden Bottom, done properly
A service is not the same as a regas. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak somewhere. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we’ll set out how. We are often asked to deal with leak check records that need bringing up to date and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, on ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Most systems around Harpsden Bottom need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
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, so keep it safe.

How the job changes from property to property
Fans and electrics
We look at the wiring and terminals for anything loose or discoloured. Loose connections can cause faults that come and go, so this matters.
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.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
After we’ve gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
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 you have the whole history together.
Do not ignore small changes. Odd noises, smells and drips are cheaper to sort out before they grow than after a breakdown.
Questions from Harpsden Bottom
Does my air con in Harpsden Bottom need a yearly service?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you cover Harpsden Bottom for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Harpsden Bottom is one of the places we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval, and we can tell you where your system sits.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas, priced before we start.
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.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after each visit.
