Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Kennington
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, VRF systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit and smells coming from the indoor unit.
In a place like Kennington, the outdoor unit often sits near a garden, hedge or trees, which can clog the outdoor coil. Every service includes cleaning it.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Keeping systems in Kennington running
Kennington’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 25 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Old House (grade II). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. About 40% of homes in Kennington and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
Site managers at schools like Kennington Church of England Academy can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Kennington
Do you cover smaller places like Kennington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does my air con in Kennington need a yearly service?
Normally 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 regas my air conditioning on a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again, so we don’t recommend it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Common problems we fix in Kennington
Dust settles on the filters every time the unit is on. Clogged filters choke the airflow, the coil can get too cold and the room takes longer to cool or warm.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.
What your quote should include
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
The process
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit 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 Kennington.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- 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.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
