Outdoor units serving flats can be awkward to reach, so let us know where yours is. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools.

How we handle air conditioning servicing in Kennington
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. If you are dealing with warning lights on the indoor unit and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes, we can sort it out.
In Kennington, the outdoor unit can be on a balcony, a roof or a rear wall, as that affects how long the service takes. If the building has a managing agent, we can book in with them.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. 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. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Let us know who controls access to the building in Kennington, as that saves time on the day.
- 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.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kennington
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Looking after your system
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
After the service, you get a record of what was done, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so you have the whole history together.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s normally back towards the indoor unit.

What else we do in Kennington
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do 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.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Kennington questions
Is Kennington in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Kennington falls inside our working area. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
How often should air conditioning in Kennington be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
A service does not include adding refrigerant. If a system has lost refrigerant, it has leaked from somewhere. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Check your brand’s conditions, which may mention servicing and file every service record.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It takes the scheduling off your plate.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
