How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit, and we clear up before we go. We plan the trip to Lower Basildon around you.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
Where the system needs F-gas leak checks, the result is recorded, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse, and the manual shows how.
Servicing in Lower Basildon: local notes
The 2021 Census found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Lower Basildon. On the National Heritage List, around 15 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Lower Basildon; Church of St. Bartholomew (grade I) 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.
Dust on the filters and coil makes the system work harder for the same result.

Common problems we fix in Lower Basildon
Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, dirt and debris collect on the coil and around the casing, which makes it harder for the unit to shed or pick up heat.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A service that is overdue
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.
