Ightham air conditioning servicing
F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Ightham for air conditioning servicing. A fixed price before work begins, and a 24/7 emergency line.
- Air conditioning that is not cooling as well as it did
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Visits to Ightham are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

About our air conditioning servicing in Ightham
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are smells coming from the indoor unit and weaker cooling than last year.
In a village like Ightham, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Air conditioning servicing in Ightham: the local picture
Central Ightham is inside the Ightham Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Ightham and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Historic England lists about 13 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Ightham, including Harrow Cottage (grade II). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
Schools such as Ightham Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty. Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

System by system
Filters
Filters catch dust before it reaches the coil. We clean them and check for damage, and if a filter is past its best we tell you.
Condensate drains and pumps
Cooling pulls moisture out of the air, and that water has to drain away. We clean the drain tray and clear the pipe so the water has a clear path out.

Questions from Ightham
Do you cover Ightham for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Ightham is one of the places we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Will you come out to Ightham?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
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?
The service checks how the refrigerant circuit is performing, but doesn’t include adding gas. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows with a fixed price for each step.
Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. We agree the visits and the cost up front so you don’t have to remember.
Book a service at least once a year with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.
