How we price air conditioning servicing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What electrical work the job needs
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Ingrave
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are leak check records that need bringing up to date and a service that’s overdue.
Around Ingrave, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Keeping systems in Ingrave running
Ingrave’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Thorndon Park Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Ingrave. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 10 within half a mile of the centre, such as Thorndon Hall (grade I). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 43% of homes in Ingrave and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more. For a school like Brentwood County High School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Ingrave
How often do you service systems in Ingrave?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Is Ingrave within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again and that’s money wasted.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
The answer is in your manufacturer’s warranty conditions. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence and we will help you check what applies.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Work in Ingrave is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Advice
Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
In most homes, the indoor units are wall-mounted. They open up for the filters, coil and fan to be cleaned, and the drain is checked at the same time.
Condensate drains and pumps
Where water can’t drain by gravity, a condensate pump lifts it. The pump is tested to make sure it works since a stuck pump often means water from the unit.
After we’ve gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Shut doors to the room so the system isn’t cooling the whole house
- Check the condensate pipe outside is not blocked or crushed
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
The best time to book the next service is now, while you remember. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating, though any time of year works.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs, so clear them back.
What a customer said
“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.”
