What does an air con service involve?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
How often does air con need a service?
We recommend an annual service, with more visits for systems that run a lot. The manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing, so it’s worth reading them.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
That’s down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence and we will help you check what applies.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in North Stifford
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, VRF systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit and a system that struggles to cool on warm days.
For a home in or near North Stifford, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How we price air conditioning servicing
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What electrical work the job needs
- The number of rooms, units or zones
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your installation or service records
Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit, and we tidy up before we leave. For a village like North Stifford, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

System by system
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so the water has a clear path out.
Maintenance contracts
We tailor the schedule to how hard the system works, rather than a one-size plan.
