Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Langdon Hills
How often do you service systems in Langdon Hills?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Will you come out to Langdon Hills?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too plus a leak check on systems that need one.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Langdon Hills
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. Servicing removes it, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. We’re often asked to deal with condensate leaking into the room and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit, across ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems.
A service around Langdon Hills is booked to suit you, and a single system usually takes an hour or two.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Why act early in Langdon Hills
Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. The cure is cleaning where the dirt has built up instead of covering it up. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

How the visit works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Everything the job in Langdon Hills needs is worked out beforehand.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- 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.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
