How we handle air conditioning servicing in Hextable
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. Each brand sets its own terms and we are happy to go through them with you. Our service record shows the work was done. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are a unit showing a fault code and an unpleasant odour when the system runs.
Outdoor units around Hextable tend to be close to gardens and hedges, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Cleaning it is part of every service.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What we are called out for in Hextable
How often a system needs servicing depends partly on how hard it works. 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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Keeping systems in Hextable running
The last census (2021) found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. The middle of Hextable is part of a conservation area. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
Schools such as Hextable Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We plan the visit to Hextable from the survey or your photos.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Hextable: your questions answered
Is Hextable within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How often should air conditioning in Hextable be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
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.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
It depends on the brand. Some may have servicing conditions attached so it’s worth reading yours. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Report drips, smells or noises early
- Hold on to every service report
- Keep the filters clean between visits
Where the system needs F-gas leak checks, the result is recorded, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.
Book a service at least once a year with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
If you are not sure, just call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
