How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Hexton.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.

- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.

Related advice
Air conditioning servicing in Hexton
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. A service clears it away, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. If the problem is ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and smells coming from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
In a village like Hexton, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Looking after your system
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t wait for a small drip to become a leak
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so the service history is in one place.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs, so clear them back.
Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Hexton
A slow leak can go unnoticed for a long time. The system just cools or heats a little less well each year, until it cannot keep up on the hottest or coldest days.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- Weaker cooling than last year
If you look after a school such as Hexton Junior Mixed and Infant School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
Hexton questions
How often should air conditioning in Hexton be serviced?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Is Hexton within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
