Air conditioning servicing in Old Wives Lees, done properly
Servicing does not mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. Common call-outs are for systems that haven’t been serviced for a while and new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit, on air-to-air heat pumps, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
For a home in or near Old Wives Lees, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
It depends on the brand. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We’re happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
A service takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Any repair found on the day is priced and agreed before it’s done, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to book.

The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Old Wives Lees.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where we can park and unload
