How we handle air conditioning servicing in Peaks Hill
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. 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. Common call-outs are for air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and F-gas leak checks falling due, across VRF systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
In a London area like Peaks Hill, many systems run hard in summer and for heating in winter, which is a good reason for a yearly service. In London, outdoor coils collect dust, grime and leaves, and a clean coil cools better.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Common questions in Peaks Hill
How often should air conditioning in Peaks Hill be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in Peaks Hill?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Where photos are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
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.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
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. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled, and we can tell you where your system sits.
How long does the work take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. As a guide, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
What owners can safely do
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring 07833 053749.

Keeping systems in Peaks Hill running
The Webb Estate Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Peaks Hill, within about a third of a mile. There are 3 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Peaks Hill. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. About 44% of homes in the Peaks Hill area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. London outdoor units collect city dust and grime, so the outdoor coil gets particular attention on a service.
Schools such as Coloma Convent Girls' School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty. Businesses close to Purley station can book an early or late slot so the service doesn’t get in the way of trade.

What the work involves, system by system
Fans and electrics
We test the controls, the modes and the timers to make sure the system responds properly.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
tCO2e is the refrigerant charge in kg multiplied by its global warming potential, divided 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 read the charge from the unit’s label and work it out for you.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Peaks Hill.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

“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.”
