Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Houghton
Servicing covers both halves of the system: the indoor units in the rooms and the outdoor unit outside. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Houghton and the rest of Hampshire, for most leading brands. If the problem is new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, we can sort it out.
We plan the trip to Houghton and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Houghton questions
How often should air conditioning in Houghton be serviced?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Houghton?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Houghton is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
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 takes the scheduling off your plate.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
The answer is in your manufacturer’s warranty conditions. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed and we’ll help you check what applies.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What a service looks like in Houghton
VOA council tax data put about 37% of homes across Houghton and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 83% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned. Houghton’s centre falls inside the Houghton and Bossington Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 27 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Houghton, including Old Rectory (grade II*). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due. If you look after a school such as Test Valley School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. We do not carry out extra work until you’ve agreed it and the decision is always yours.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
What air conditioning will not do
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
Leave it or put it right?
If your system needs F-gas leak checks, they are not optional. Skipping a year leaves a gap in the records the rules expect you to keep and it’s far easier to stay on schedule. An early booking makes the visit to Houghton easier to arrange.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Houghton so we arrive with what’s needed.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
