- No service record for the last year or more
What the work involves, system by system
Fans and electrics
We test the controls, the modes and the timers to make sure the system responds properly.
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. The room takes longer to get comfortable so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.
Air conditioning servicing in Lower Brailes, done properly
Servicing covers both halves of the system: the indoor units in the rooms and the outdoor unit outside. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Lower Brailes and the rest of Oxfordshire, whatever the make. We’re often asked to deal with no service record for the last year or more and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit, across multi-split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems.
Most systems around Lower Brailes need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
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.

Lower Brailes questions
How often should air conditioning in Lower Brailes be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Will you come out to Lower Brailes?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again and that’s money wasted.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing, and keep each service record with the warranty paperwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What affects the quote in Lower Brailes
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
How the visit works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Lower Brailes.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a price
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Keeping systems in Lower Brailes running
The last census (2021) 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. The centre of Lower Brailes lies within a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 32 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St George (grade I). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due. If you look after a school such as Brailes CofE Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
