Air conditioning servicing in Pangbourne
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. The work covers ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are weaker cooling than last year and an unpleasant odour when the system runs.
A service around Pangbourne is booked to suit you, and most single systems take an hour or two.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Pangbourne
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Pangbourne?
Yes, Pangbourne is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How often do you service systems in Pangbourne?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too plus a leak check on systems that need one.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
That’s down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed and we’ll help you check what applies.
How we price air conditioning servicing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How easy the units are to reach
- The pipe route between the units
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so it flows properly.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Cassette units are set into the ceiling and blow air in several directions. We drop the grille to clean the filters and check the condensate pump.
The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Pangbourne.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so the service history is in one place.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.
