Air conditioning servicing in Lower Upnor
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. Common call-outs are for warning lights on the indoor unit and water dripping from the indoor unit, on wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.
Several units at a home near Lower Upnor can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

When to call us in Lower Upnor
How often a system needs servicing depends partly on how hard it works. Heat pumps used for winter heating and units in busy offices, shops or kitchens get through a lot of air and so builds up dirt more quickly.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
If you look after a school such as Chattenden Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

The work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. We plan the trip to Lower Upnor around you.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Preparing for the visit

Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check the condensate pipe outside isn’t blocked or crushed
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
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. On many wall-mounted units, the filters lift out easily and the user manual explains how often.
