What happens on the day
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It 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. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in High Cross.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that is been bothering you.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

About our air conditioning servicing in High Cross
A service is not the same as a regas. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we’ll set out how. If the problem is a system that struggles to cool on warm days and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, we can sort it out.
For a home in or near High Cross, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Common questions in High Cross
Can you do air conditioning servicing in High Cross?
We do: High Cross falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover smaller places like High Cross?
Yes. High Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
How much does an air conditioning service cost?
£95–£150 + VAT covers the annual service with the figure confirmed before the visit. If the service finds a fault, we price the repair separately and only go ahead if you agree.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in High Cross and across Hertfordshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
How much time does an air con service need?
Expect it to take an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we’ll confirm which band applies.
Air conditioning servicing around High Cross
Balhams Hall and the Cottage, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 21 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around High Cross’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. VOA council tax data date about 47% of homes in the High Cross area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
If you look after a school such as Thundridge Church of England Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Book a service at least once a year with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.
How the job changes from property to property
Filters
The filter is the first line of defence for the indoor unit. On a service, they’re cleaned and checked for tears, and if a filter is past its best we tell you.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Cassette units are set into the ceiling and blow air in several directions. The grille drops down for the filters, and the drain and pump are checked inside.
Leave it or put it right?
A musty smell from the system is rarely something that clears on its own. The cure is cleaning where the dirt has built up, rather than masking it. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
