Air conditioning servicing in Nine Ashes

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Nine Ashes

Electrical terminals can work loose as the system heats, cools and vibrates. That can lead to intermittent faults which is why they’re checked on every service.

If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Water dripping from the indoor unit
  • A system that struggles to cool on warm days
  • Iced-up coils or pipework

If you look after a school such as Blackmore Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

How to choose an air conditioning engineer

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Nine Ashes

Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak somewhere. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. If you are dealing with condensate leaking into the room and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit, we can help.

For a home in or near Nine Ashes, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.

Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Air conditioning servicing in Nine Ashes: the local picture

Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Nine Ashes, including Walnut Tree Cottage (grade II). Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 50% of homes in Nine Ashes and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 88% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.

Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

How the visit works

The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Nine Ashes.

  1. It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
  2. Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
  3. Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
  4. Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
  5. We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.

Preparing for the visit

  • Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
  • Let us know where the consumer unit is
  • Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
