About our air conditioning servicing in Hawkhurst

Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. Each brand sets its own terms, and we can explain what yours says. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. Typical jobs include air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and F-gas leak checks falling due, on multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.

We book services in Hawkhurst at a time that suits you, and a single system typically takes an hour or two.

Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Hawkhurst

Does my air con in Hawkhurst need a yearly service?

Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.

Is Hawkhurst within the area you cover?

Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.

How long will the engineer be here for the service?

It takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.

Which brands do you work with?

Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.

When will I hear back?

The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Will you regas my air conditioning on a 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, priced before any work starts.

Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?

Yes, for homes and businesses. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.

How it works

If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. In a place like Hawkhurst, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.

  1. We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
  2. On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
  3. We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
  4. 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.
  5. You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.

How to prepare

  • Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
  • Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
  • Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

How to get a quote

Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.

Advice

Let and managed properties

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.

Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.

What a service looks like in Hawkhurst

The middle of Hawkhurst is part of a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 43 within half a mile of the centre, such as Marlborough House School (grade II*). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. VOA council tax data put about 38% of homes across Hawkhurst and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.

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

What we are called out for in Hawkhurst

Electrical terminals can work loose as the system heats, cools and vibrates. That can lead to intermittent faults which is why they’re checked on every service.

Reasons to give us a call include:

  • A service that’s overdue
  • Weaker cooling than last year
  • Condensate leaking into the room

For a school like Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
  • Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
  • Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
