Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Penenden Heath
How often should air conditioning in Penenden Heath be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Will you come out to Penenden Heath?
Yes. Penenden Heath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
About our air conditioning servicing in Penenden Heath
Servicing does not mean topping up refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak somewhere. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. Typical jobs include condensate leaking into the room and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes, across wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems.
We book services in Penenden Heath at a time that suits you, and most single systems take an hour or two.
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 any chargeable work goes ahead.

How the job changes from property to property
Fans and electrics
Controls and remote handsets are tested in each mode to make sure the system responds properly.
Filters
The filter is the first line of defence for the indoor unit. On a service, they’re cleaned and checked for tears, and if a filter is past its best we tell you.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- A system short of gas because of a leak
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
Safe owner checks
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
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.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Visits to a place like Penenden Heath are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
