When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning servicing, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A system that’s too small for the room it serves
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

About our air conditioning servicing in Pimlico
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. If the problem is error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and iced-up coils or pipework, we can sort it out.
For a home in or near Pimlico, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
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 anything chargeable is done.

What we are called out for in Pimlico
A slow leak can go unnoticed for a long time. The system just cools or heats a little less well each year, until it cannot keep up on the hottest or coldest days.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Condensate leaking into the room
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.
Before booking anyone
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Work in Pimlico is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- 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.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can book it in ahead of time.
Make sure condensate pipes outside are not crushed, blocked or buried. A pipe that’s been knocked or covered can back up into the indoor unit.
Air conditioning servicing in Pimlico: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 66% of homes across Pimlico and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Rose Acre House, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 5 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Pimlico’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
If you look after a school such as Bedmond Academy, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Pimlico questions
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Pimlico?
Yes. Pimlico is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover smaller places like Pimlico?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after every visit.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
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’ll confirm which band applies.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
The visit takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Any repair found on the day is priced and agreed before it’s done, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 or email us to book.
