Air conditioning servicing in Lower Bourne, done properly
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. Our service record shows the work was done. We’re often asked to deal with a service that’s overdue and weaker cooling than last year, across VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems.
A yearly service suits most systems around Lower Bourne, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
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.

What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Lower Bourne.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice

Vine Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 6 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Lower Bourne’s centre.

Common questions in Lower Bourne
How often should air conditioning in Lower Bourne be serviced?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Is Lower Bourne within the area you cover?
Yes. Lower Bourne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
That is down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence, and we can explain what your brand asks for.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for example, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
After we have gone
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Book the service at least once a year
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can book it in ahead of time.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs, so clear them back.

Do you need air conditioning servicing in Lower Bourne?
How often a system needs servicing depends partly on how hard it works. A system used for heating as well as cooling, or one in a busy workplace, sees far more running hours and so builds up dirt more quickly.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Weaker cooling than last year
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- A service that is overdue
If you look after a school such as Farnham College, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
