Air con servicing in Landport
Air conditioning servicing in and around Landport, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off with the price fixed before work begins.
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Book the service at least once a year
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can book it in ahead of time.
Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs, so clear them back.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Landport
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. The visits, the scope and the cost are fixed with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. If the problem is smells coming from the indoor unit and F-gas leak checks falling due, we can sort it out.
A yearly service suits most systems around Landport, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, 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 owners can safely do
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Questions from Landport
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Landport?
It can. Landport is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Will you come out to Landport?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after every visit.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Pricing air conditioning servicing in Landport
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What kind of system it is
- The size of the job
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Air conditioning servicing around Landport
Landport lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. Landport’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Mile End, Landport Conservation Area. There are 10 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Landport. On the National Heritage List, around 48 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Landport; Church of St Agatha (grade II*) is one. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. About 62% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Balcony, roof or high wall? Knowing where a flat’s outdoor unit is helps us bring the right access kit.
If you run premises near Portsmouth & Southsea station, ask about servicing several units in one visit. For a school like Ark Dickens Primary Academy, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Landport.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
