How we handle air conditioning servicing in Orlestone
People in Orlestone book a service for all sorts of reasons: a musty smell, weak cooling, water dripping indoors or simply because it’s been a while. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. We are often asked to deal with air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and humming, rattling or squealing from the system, across ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems.
Most systems around Orlestone need servicing once a year, best done before summer.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Keep the filters clean between visits
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
- Book the service at least once a year
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can book it in ahead of time.
Make sure condensate pipes outside aren’t crushed, blocked or buried. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that is normally back towards the indoor unit.
The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. If a lane or gateway near Orlestone is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

FAQs for Orlestone
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Orlestone?
Yes. Orlestone is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Orlestone within the area you cover?
Yes. Orlestone is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
The GOV.UK rules set leak checks at least every 12 months for 5 to under 50 tCO2e and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval, and we can tell you where your system sits.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing and file every service record.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows with a fixed price for each step.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.

What the work involves, system by system
Indoor and outdoor coils
The outdoor coil does the same job on the other side of the system. It collects garden debris and dirt and we clean it and make sure the air can flow.
Fans and electrics
Electrical connections are checked for tightness and signs of overheating. A loose terminal can be the cause of an intermittent fault, so this matters.
