How we handle air conditioning servicing in Hoath
A service is not the same as a regas. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. If you’re dealing with noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit and condensate leaking into the room, we can sort it out.
Several units at a home near Hoath can be serviced in one visit.
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.

How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Hoath.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Hoath questions
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Hoath?
It can, as Hoath is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Does my air con in Hoath need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows, priced before work begins.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.
How much time does an air con service need?
A typical service takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time, and we will tell you in advance.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
We do. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

How the job changes from property to property
Filters
When filters fill with dust, less air moves through the system. The room takes longer to get comfortable so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The engineer looks at how well the system is moving heat, using temperatures and pressures to see whether it’s working as it should. If the readings suggest gas has been lost, we explain what that means.
Keeping the system healthy
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
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 book it in ahead of time.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.
Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Keeping systems in Hoath running
At about 3 miles from the coast, Hoath is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. Census 2021 figures found about 76% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. The Hoath, Rushbourne and Tile Lodge Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Hoath. In the mile around Hoath’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Hoath Court, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 10 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hoath’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. If you look after a school such as Hoath Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
