System by system
Indoor and outdoor coils
The indoor coil is where the air is cooled or warmed. Cleaning removes the dust that coats the fins and any damage is noted.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Wall-mounted units are the most common indoor unit in homes. Filters and covers come off easily for cleaning, and the drain is checked at the same time.
Air conditioning servicing in Picket Piece
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about a system that struggles to cool on warm days and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes.
A service around Picket Piece is booked to suit you, and a single system normally takes an hour or two.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

- Condensate leaking into the room
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit

Common questions in Picket Piece
How often should air conditioning in Picket Piece be serviced?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Will you come out to Picket Piece?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How much time does an air con service need?
It takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. 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.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
The process
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Picket Piece when you book.
- 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.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
- Hold on to every service report
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. We don’t carry out extra work until you’ve agreed it, so you stay in control of the cost.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse and the user manual explains how often.
What a customer said
“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.”
