About our air conditioning servicing in Mackerel's Common
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we’ll set out how. Common call-outs are for a service that’s overdue and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, across VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
Several units at a home near Mackerel's Common can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The size of the job
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

How the job changes from property to property
Filters
Certain indoor units carry additional filters alongside the main ones. They’re checked too, and we explain what the manufacturer suggests.
Condensate drains and pumps
Where water can’t drain by gravity, a condensate pump lifts it. The pump is tested to make sure it works since a stuck pump often means water from the unit.
After we’ve gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book the service at least once a year
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. We agree the visits and the cost up front, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. A pipe that is been knocked or covered can back up into the indoor unit.
Keeping systems in Mackerel's Common running
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 8 within half a mile of the centre, such as Message Cottage (grade II). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. About 83% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. Clean filters and coils help a system cool better and use less electricity.

Mackerel's Common: your questions answered
Is Mackerel's Common in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Mackerel's Common is within the area we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Will you come out to Mackerel's Common?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
A service doesn’t include adding refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e don’t need them.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A full clean and check of the system. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
