- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near North Hinksey.
- 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.
- 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.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Related advice
Air conditioning servicing in North Hinksey
We are 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’s overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. Common call-outs are for smells coming from the indoor unit and new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit, across ducted systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
In a place like North Hinksey, the outdoor unit often sits near a garden, hedge or trees, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. 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.

Other services in North Hinksey
Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
North Hinksey: your questions answered
Will you come out to North Hinksey?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does my air con in North Hinksey need a yearly service?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business 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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in North Hinksey and across Oxfordshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
A full clean and check of the system. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Why act early in North Hinksey
If your system needs F-gas leak checks, they aren’t optional. Missing one leaves you without the check and the record and it’s far easier to stay on schedule. Planning ahead for a job near North Hinksey means we can arrive with everything needed.

Keeping systems in North Hinksey running
On the National Heritage List, around 11 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of North Hinksey; Church of St Lawrence (grade II*) is one. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. About 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. If you look after a school such as North Hinksey Church of England Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
