About our air conditioning servicing in Little Common
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. Each brand sets its own terms, and we can explain what yours says. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. If you’re dealing with humming, rattling or squealing from the system and leak check records that need bringing up to date, we can help.
We plan the trip to Little Common and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Don’t 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 electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Keeping systems in Little Common running
About 20 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Little Common, Little Common Cottage (grade II) among them. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
Schools such as Rayne Primary and Nursery School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

When to call us in Little Common
Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, dirt and debris collect on the coil and around the casing and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A service that is overdue
- Weaker cooling than last year
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
F-gas leak checks are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards: at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Filters
Filters catch dust before it reaches the coil. We clean them and check for damage and we will say if one needs replacing.
Little Common questions
Do you cover Little Common for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Little Common falls inside our working area. Just call us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Will you come out to Little Common?
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 the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
The answer is in your manufacturer’s warranty conditions. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence and we will help you check what applies.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. The price is fixed with your quote, and each visit is recorded.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
At least once a year is a sensible routine for most systems. Systems that work hard, such as those used for heating or in busy workplaces, may benefit from more frequent visits and it’s worth checking what your manufacturer recommends.

How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Little Common so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear access to the fuse board
