Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Old Tree
How often a system needs servicing depends partly on how hard it works. Heat pumps used for winter heating and units in busy offices, shops or kitchens get through a lot of air, and they benefit from regular attention.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
- Condensate leaking into the room
- Iced-up coils or pipework
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Old Tree
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We service systems in Old Tree and across Kent, for most leading brands. We are often asked to deal with a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and F-gas leak checks falling due, across ducted systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
We plan the trip to Old Tree and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out 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.

What else we do in Old Tree
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Old Tree easier.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Related advice
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Old Tree
How often do you service systems in Old Tree?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Old Tree?
It can. Old Tree is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front, and each visit is recorded.
Who is responsible for 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.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Keeping systems in Old Tree running
The coast is only about 3 miles from Old Tree. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service.

After we’ve gone
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Don’t wait for a small drip to become a leak
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Hold on to every service report
A maintenance contract takes the scheduling off your hands. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote so you do not have to remember.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
