How we handle air conditioning servicing in Headington Hill
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. If the problem is iced-up coils or pipework and a unit showing a fault code, we can help.
For most homes near Headington Hill, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. The cure is cleaning where the dirt has built up instead of covering it up. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and we’ll talk you through it.

Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system, and we tidy up before we leave. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Headington Hill.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
How to get a quote
