What happens on the day
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Visits to Jack's Hatch 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.
- 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.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

About our air conditioning servicing in Jack's Hatch
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. Each brand sets its own terms, and we can explain what yours says. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. Typical jobs include a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit, on VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
Around Jack's Hatch, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty filter or coil makes the system work harder for the same result. Cleaning them is a small job, and it means the system is not straining through the summer. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Jack's Hatch.

Jack's Hatch: your questions answered
Does my air con in Jack's Hatch need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. 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 Jack's Hatch for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Jack's Hatch falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after every visit.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
