About our air conditioning servicing in Horsley Cross
Maintenance contracts suit anyone who would rather not have to remember when the next service is due. The visits, the scope and the cost are fixed with your quote, and the servicing happens on schedule. The work covers ducted systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are drips or damp patches below an indoor unit and a service that’s overdue.
We plan the trip to Horsley Cross and can service more than one unit in one visit.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Keeping systems in Horsley Cross running
The coast is only about 3 miles from Horsley Cross. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
Water dripping from the indoor unit often traces back to a drain that needs clearing.

When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
tCO2e is the refrigerant charge in kg multiplied by its global warming potential, divided by 1,000. As an example, 3 kg of R32 comes to about 2.0 tCO2e, while 3 kg of R410A is about 6.3 tCO2e. We check the label on your system and tell you where it sits.
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. That makes it harder for the system to reach the temperature you’ve set so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.
Common questions in Horsley Cross
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Horsley Cross?
It can, as Horsley Cross is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Will you come out to Horsley Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How much does an air conditioning service cost?
The price for an annual service is £95–£150 + VAT. You will know the price before the engineer arrives and bigger systems are priced once we know what’s installed.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Horsley Cross.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
How to get a quote
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.

Common problems we fix in Horsley Cross
Filters clog gradually, a little more every day the system runs. As they fill, less air gets through, the coil can get too cold and the room takes longer to cool or warm.
Customers normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
