Air conditioning servicing in Hempstead
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We service systems in Hempstead and across Medway, whatever the make. Typical jobs include ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and smells coming from the indoor unit, across ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
A service around Hempstead is booked to suit you, and most single systems take an hour or two.
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.

Hempstead: your questions answered
Is Hempstead within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How often do you service systems in Hempstead?
For most homes, once a year. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
What does an air con service involve?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. A service record follows.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
The service checks how the refrigerant circuit is performing, but doesn’t 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.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time and we’ll let you know before the visit.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Keeping systems in Hempstead running
Hempstead is within about 3 miles of the coast. A yearly service matters more near the coast, where salt speeds up corrosion on coils and fixings. About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
If you look after a school such as Hempstead Infant School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Hempstead
Electrical terminals can work loose as the system heats, cools and vibrates. A loose connection can cause faults that come and go which is why they’re checked on every service.
Look out for any of the following:
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
- A service that’s overdue
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.
Before you book anyone
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
The best time to book the next service is now, while you remember. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating although we service all year round.
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.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
