About our air conditioning servicing in Martin
We’re asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. Common call-outs are for air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, on ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.
Around Martin, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
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.

Servicing in Martin: local notes
Martin is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. Census 2021 figures found about 82% 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 Martin lies within a conservation area. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
Offices and shops near Martin Mill station can have their systems serviced without closing. If you look after a school such as Langdon Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. For a place like Martin, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

System by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Where water cannot drain by gravity, a condensate pump lifts it. The pump is tested to make sure it works, because a failed pump is a common reason for drips.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The engineer looks at how well the system is moving heat, checking temperatures and pressures against what the system should achieve. If something points to a leak, we tell you and set out the options.
Martin: your questions answered
How often do you service systems in Martin?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Will you come out to Martin?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
That’s down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence and we’ll help you check what applies.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Why it’s worth doing now in Martin
When air cannot get through the unit easily, the system has to run longer to get there. A service puts that right with a clean and lets the system run as it was designed to. An early booking makes the visit to Martin easier to arrange.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.
