When to call us in Inner Avenue
Each indoor unit makes water when it cools, and that water needs a clear route out. Sludge and debris can block the tray, the pipe or the pump and the result is drips from the indoor unit.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Condensate leaking into the room
- A unit showing a fault code
- Iced-up coils or pipework
Site managers at schools like Bevois Town Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

How we handle air conditioning servicing in Inner Avenue
A service is not the same as a regas. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak somewhere. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we’ll set out how. The work covers VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes and warning lights on the indoor unit.
A service around Inner Avenue is booked to suit you, and a single system usually takes an hour or two.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Inner Avenue
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Inner Avenue?
It can. Inner Avenue is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Does my air con in Inner Avenue need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
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 holding less than 10 tCO2e don’t need them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
The service checks how the refrigerant circuit is performing, but doesn’t include adding gas. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas with a fixed price for each step.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
The process
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Inner Avenue.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- 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
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
