Air con servicing in Kencot
F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Kencot for air conditioning servicing. A fixed price before we start, and a 24/7 emergency line.
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Air conditioning servicing in Kencot
People in Kencot book a service for all sorts of reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that’s overdue. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. If you are dealing with condensate leaking into the room and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit, we can help.
We plan the trip to Kencot and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Kencot can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Common questions in Kencot
Does my air con in Kencot need a yearly service?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Will you come out to Kencot?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
That’s down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed, and we can explain what your brand asks for.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again and that is money wasted.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, for homes and businesses. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How the job changes from property to property
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Cassette units are set into the ceiling and blow air in several directions. We drop the grille to clean the filters and check the condensate pump.
Filters
The filter is the first line of defence for the indoor unit. On a service, they’re cleaned and checked for tears and we will say if one needs replacing.
Keeping systems in Kencot running
The last census (2021) found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. The Alvescot Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Kencot. Church of St Peter, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 17 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Kencot’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
For a school like St Peter's Church of England School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term. Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it.

What air conditioning will not do
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A system that’s too small for the room it serves
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall

From one of our customers
“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.”
