Air con servicing in Marchwood
Annual servicing and F-Gas leak checks for domestic and commercial air conditioning, in Marchwood and nearby. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll reply the same working day.
- Condensate leaking into the room
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Marchwood.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

How we handle air conditioning servicing in Marchwood
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, ducted systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are drips or damp patches below an indoor unit and a unit showing a fault code.
In a place like Marchwood, the outdoor unit often sits near a garden, hedge or trees, which can clog the outdoor coil. Every service includes cleaning it.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

System by system
Fans and electrics
Controls and remote handsets are tested in each mode so you know it does what you ask.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ducted units sit out of sight in ceiling voids. Servicing means reaching the unit through an access hatch so it helps to know where the access is before we arrive.

Common questions in Marchwood
Is Marchwood within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does my air con in Marchwood need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Common problems we fix in Marchwood
Small refrigerant leaks don’t announce themselves. Performance drops slowly and only becomes obvious when the weather is at its extreme.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
After we have gone
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- Keep the drain outlet clear
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If anything seems off, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will talk it through.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.

If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
