Filters
Filters catch dust before it reaches the coil. On a service, they’re cleaned and checked for tears, and if a filter is past its best we tell you.
Maintenance contracts
A maintenance contract sets out the visits, what each covers and the price, fixed with your quote. It suits homes and businesses alike.
About our air conditioning servicing in Higham
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. If the problem is warning lights on the indoor unit and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes, we can help.
For a home in or near Higham, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Work in Higham is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Common problems we fix in Higham
Electrical terminals can work loose as the system heats, cools and vibrates. That can lead to intermittent faults which is why they’re checked on every service.
Common reasons people call us are:
- No service record for the last year or more
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

Let and managed properties
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
