What affects the quote in Headcorn
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy the units are to reach
- What kind of system it is
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The address and the type of property
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
If you need air conditioning servicing in Headcorn, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some photos if they’re to hand. We reply the same working day.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Headcorn
Maintenance contracts suit anyone who would rather not have to remember when the next service is due. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes and warning lights on the indoor unit.
In a place like Headcorn, the outdoor unit often sits near a garden, hedge or trees, which can clog the outdoor coil. Cleaning it is part of every service.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
- Hold on to every service report
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse and the user manual explains how often.

What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Everything the job in Headcorn needs is worked out beforehand.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear access to the fuse board
How to get a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

When to call us in Headcorn
Systems that run most of the year collect dirt faster than ones used on a few hot days. A system used for heating as well as cooling, or one in a busy workplace, sees far more running hours and so builds up dirt more quickly.
What we are most often called about:
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- Iced-up coils or pipework
For an office near Headcorn station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours.
What your quote should include
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it

Headcorn questions
Will you come out to Headcorn?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does my air con in Headcorn need a yearly service?
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.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Headcorn and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
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.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
