Questions from Old Hawkinge
Is Old Hawkinge within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does my air con in Old Hawkinge 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 does an air con service involve?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
A service does not include adding refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
About our air conditioning servicing in Old Hawkinge
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Dust, fluff and anything else in the air ends up on those parts. Servicing removes it, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. If the problem is ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and smells coming from the indoor unit, we can help.
We plan the trip to Old Hawkinge and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Air conditioning servicing around Old Hawkinge
At about 2 miles from the coast, Old Hawkinge is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. About 47% of homes in and around Old Hawkinge have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 68% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 9 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St. Michael (grade I). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. For a school like Hawkinge Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.
