Questions from Hermitage
Do you cover smaller places like Hermitage?
Yes. Hermitage is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Hermitage?
Yes. Hermitage is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Hermitage
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak somewhere. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about warning lights on the indoor unit and water dripping from the indoor unit.
Around Hermitage, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How it works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Hermitage can be planned properly.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- 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.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Condensate drains and pumps
Drain trays can collect sludge. A clean tray means fewer drips and fewer smells.
Indoor and outdoor coils
Coil fins are thin and easily flattened. We will point out damaged fins and whether they matter.
What happens if it’s left?
Faults found on a service can often be put right before they cause a breakdown. Waiting until the unit stops means dealing with it on the hottest day of the year. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 07833 053749 and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned. About 51 miles out from central London, Hermitage is part of the South East area we work across.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. Schools such as Hermitage Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

What owners can safely do
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
