Old Knebworth questions
Is Old Knebworth in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Old Knebworth is one of the places we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
How often should air conditioning in Old Knebworth be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
Not as a routine part of the service. If a system has lost refrigerant, it has leaked from somewhere. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
Air conditioning servicing in Old Knebworth
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: a musty smell, weak cooling, water dripping indoors or simply because it’s been a while. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. If the problem is a unit showing a fault code and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, we can sort it out.
Most systems around Old Knebworth need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: 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.

What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. For a village like Old Knebworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, 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 on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
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 of the display helps even more.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Keeping systems in Old Knebworth running
The last census (2021) found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Central Old Knebworth is inside the Old Knebworth Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 28 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Old Knebworth; Church of St Mary and St Thomas (grade I) is one. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed.
If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due. If you look after a school such as Barnwell School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

What the work involves, system by system
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. The room takes longer to get comfortable so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.
Fans and electrics
We test the controls, the modes and the timers to make sure the system responds properly.
A customer’s words
