How we handle air conditioning servicing in Horton Kirby
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours and we’re happy to go through them with you. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. Typical jobs include ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and warning lights on the indoor unit, on multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ducted systems.
In a village like Horton Kirby, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Report drips, smells or noises early
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If anything seems off, give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we’ll talk it through.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Horton Kirby easier.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- 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

When to call us in Horton Kirby
The outdoor unit lives outside. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit, which makes it harder for the unit to shed or pick up heat.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- Condensate leaking into the room
Schools such as Horton Kirby Church of England Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
A typical service takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Units that are hard to reach can take longer and we’ll let you know before the visit.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
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 will work out which band applies to yours.
