Air conditioning servicing in Kidbrooke from an F-Gas certified company, with warranty terms explained brand by brand. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

Air conditioning servicing in Kidbrooke, done properly
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. The work covers ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about smells coming from the indoor unit and air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did.
Systems in Kidbrooke often run in both summer and winter, so a yearly service keeps them efficient. In London, outdoor coils collect dust, grime and leaves, and a clean coil cools better.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What air conditioning servicing can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Kidbrooke
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. Dust sticks to a wet surface, and over time the coil and drain tray can get dirty enough to smell.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
If you look after a school such as Henwick Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
To find tCO2e, multiply the kg of refrigerant by its GWP and divide by 1,000. As an example, 3 kg of R32 comes to about 2.0 tCO2e, while 3 kg of R410A is about 6.3 tCO2e. We read the charge from the unit’s label and work it out for you.
Fans and electrics
Controls and remote handsets are tested in each mode so you know it does what you ask.
Keeping systems in Kidbrooke running
Kidbrooke’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 60% of homes in the Kidbrooke area date from 1919 to 1939. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools.
Offices and shops near Kidbrooke station can have their systems serviced without closing.
