Air conditioning servicing in Hornsey, done properly
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are systems that haven’t been serviced for a while and smells coming from the indoor unit.
Systems in Hornsey often run in both summer and winter, so a yearly service keeps them efficient. Outdoor units on balconies and roofs pick up city dust and debris, and a clean coil cools better.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do 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. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Hornsey.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

How the job changes from property to property
Indoor and outdoor coils
Room air passes over the indoor coil, which takes heat out or puts it in. We clean it so air can pass through the fins and heat can pass in and out, and we look for damage or corrosion.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ducted units sit out of sight in ceiling voids. We need access to the unit, its filters and its drain, so let us know where the hatch is.
What affects the quote in Hornsey
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The size of the job
- The pipe route between the units
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your installation or service records
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Rented and managed buildings
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.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Servicing in Hornsey: local notes
About 63% of homes in and around Hornsey were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 70% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Outdoor units serving flats can be awkward to reach, so let us know where yours is. City dust and debris build up on London outdoor units, which is why servicing matters. The middle of Hornsey is part of the Hillfield Conservation Area. In the mile around Hornsey’s centre, 11 conservation areas have been designated. Tower of Old Parish Church of St Mary, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 15 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hornsey’s centre. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
If you run premises near Hornsey station, ask about servicing several units in one visit. If you look after a school such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Questions from Hornsey
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Hornsey?
Yes, Hornsey is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How often should air conditioning in Hornsey be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Hornsey and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
