Common questions in Medstead
Will you come out to Medstead?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Medstead in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Medstead falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
How much time does an air con service need?
As a guide, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Units that are hard to reach can take longer, and we will tell you in advance.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing, and keep each service record with the warranty paperwork.
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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Medstead
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. Each brand sets its own terms and we are happy to go through them with you. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. The work covers ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and F-gas leak checks falling due.
Outdoor units around Medstead tend to be close to gardens and hedges, which can clog the outdoor coil. Cleaning it is part of every service.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

System by system
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. The room takes longer to get comfortable, which is why filters are always part of the service.
Condensate drains and pumps
Slime and debris build up in drain trays over time. A clean tray means fewer drips and fewer smells.
Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. We don’t carry out extra work until you’ve agreed it and the decision is always yours.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s usually back towards the indoor unit.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Medstead.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

When to call us in Medstead
Condensate has to drain away from every indoor unit. Sludge and debris can block the tray, the pipe or the pump, and the water then has nowhere to go but out of the unit.
Customers typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Condensate leaking into the room
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
- No service record for the last year or more
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.
