Why deal with it now?
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. Booking before summer means the work in Hill Grove is done before the hot weather.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Air conditioning servicing in Hill Grove, done properly
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We service systems in Hill Grove and across Hampshire, for most leading brands. We’re often asked to deal with iced-up coils or pipework and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, on multi-split systems, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home in or near Hill Grove, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Questions from Hill Grove
Do you cover Hill Grove for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Hill Grove is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How often do you service systems in Hill Grove?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
A service doesn’t include adding refrigerant. If a system has lost refrigerant, it has leaked from somewhere. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after each visit.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What does an air con service involve?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.

- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit

What else we do in Hill Grove
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system, and we clear up before we go. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Hill Grove easier.
- 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.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
