Henham: your questions answered
Does my air con in Henham need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Henham?
We do: Henham falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
The GOV.UK rules set leak checks at least every 12 months for 5 to under 50 tCO2e and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we’ll confirm which band applies.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after each visit.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance with leak checks where the rules require them.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Henham
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours and we are happy to go through them with you. Our service record shows the work was done. Common call-outs are for water dripping from the indoor unit and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit, on multi-split systems, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home in or near Henham, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What affects the quote in Henham
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Work in Henham is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Hold on to every service report
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If anything seems off, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll look into it.
Do not ignore small changes. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than after a breakdown.

Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
