About our air conditioning servicing in Old Basing
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. The work covers ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a system that struggles to cool on warm days and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit.
We book services in Old Basing at a time that suits you, and most single systems take an hour or two.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Old Basing and across Hampshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Why it’s worth doing now in Old Basing
A musty smell from the system is rarely something that clears on its own. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause, rather than masking it. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Why people in Old Basing choose us
- Enquiries answered the same working day
- MCS certified heat pump installers
- An F-Gas certified company, as the law requires
- Electrical work covered by our NICEIC approval
Questions from Old Basing
Is Old Basing in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Old Basing is part of that. To start, ring 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
Does my air con in Old Basing 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.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, so call us on 07833 053749 to arrange a time.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
We do, for one unit at home or many across a site. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Servicing in Old Basing: local notes
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. The Old Basing Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Old Basing, within about a third of a mile. About 62 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Old Basing, Church of St Mary (grade I) among them. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. If you look after a school such as Old Basing Infant School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Old Basing can be done in one go where possible.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
