What the work involves, system by system
Maintenance contracts
We tailor the schedule to how hard the system works so it fits your site.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
To find tCO2e, multiply the kg of refrigerant by its GWP and divide 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.
Air conditioning servicing in Howt Green
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 are happy to go through them with you. Our service record shows the work was done. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are F-gas leak checks falling due and systems that haven’t been serviced for a while.

Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
FAQs for Howt Green
Do you cover smaller places like Howt Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Howt Green?
It can, as Howt Green is within about 2 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.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again and that’s money wasted.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. You get a record of the visit.
How much does an air conditioning service cost?
It’s £95–£150 + VAT for an annual service. More complex systems are priced on their details and we confirm the cost in advance.
How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Howt Green.
- 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.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Why it’s worth doing now in Howt Green
A blocked condensate drain usually gets worse rather than better. What starts as a damp patch under the indoor unit can become water running down the wall, which is easily avoided by clearing the drain on a service. An early booking makes the visit to Howt Green easier to arrange.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
