What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Palmer's Green
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. A service clears it away, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. If you are dealing with systems that haven’t been serviced for a while and error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
For a home in or near Palmer's Green, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Common questions in Palmer's Green
How often should air conditioning in Palmer's Green be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you cover smaller places like Palmer's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
It depends on the brand. Some may have servicing conditions attached so it’s worth reading yours. We’re happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
It takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference so we’ll confirm the time when we book.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How it works
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 a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Palmer's Green.
- 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.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Common problems we fix in Palmer's Green
Each indoor unit makes water when it cools, and that water needs a clear route out. Debris in the tray or a sticky pump can stop it draining, and the water then has nowhere to go but out of the unit.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Iced-up coils or pipework
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
Site managers at schools like Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it

Different systems, different jobs
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
To find tCO2e, multiply the kg of refrigerant by its GWP and divide by 1,000. So 3 kg of R32 is roughly 2.0 tCO2e, and the same amount of R410A is roughly 6.3 tCO2e. We check the label on your system and tell you where it sits.
Fans and electrics
The indoor and outdoor fans move the air across the coils. The engineer listens for noise and checks for wobble or wear and cleans dust from the indoor fan.
