About our air conditioning servicing in Housham Tye
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. Each brand sets its own terms and we are happy to go through them with you. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. Typical jobs include a unit showing a fault code and humming, rattling or squealing from the system, on wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
Around Housham Tye, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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.

The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Somewhere like Housham Tye, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Questions from Housham Tye
Does my air con in Housham Tye need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Do you cover smaller places like Housham Tye?
Yes. Housham Tye is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
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. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a 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 with a fixed price for each step.
Let and managed properties
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Housham Tye
Condensate has to drain away from every indoor unit. Debris in the tray or a sticky pump can stop it draining, and the water then has nowhere to go but out of the unit.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
Site managers at schools like Mark Hall School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
What your quote should include
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What records you get at the end
Keeping systems in Housham Tye running
About 53% of homes across Housham Tye and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 18 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Manor (grade II). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.

From one of our customers
“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.”
