Air conditioning servicing in Norcot, done properly
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We service systems in Norcot and across Reading, whatever the make. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and no service record for the last year or more.
Outdoor units around Norcot tend to be close to gardens and hedges, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Cleaning it is part of every service.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Other services in Norcot
For landlords and property managers
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Norcot
Is Norcot in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Norcot is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Does my air con in Norcot need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Installation faults that need reworking
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair

How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. We plan the visit to Norcot from the survey or your photos.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
When to call us in Norcot
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. That moisture traps dust, and a dirty coil and drain tray are a common source of musty smells.
Look out for these signs:
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Iced-up coils or pipework
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
Schools such as Meadow Park Academy can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.
