Air conditioning servicing in Plashet, Greater London
Our engineers work in Plashet on air conditioning servicing. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- A service that is overdue
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Do not wait for a small drip to become a leak
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
Put the next service in the diary straight away. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating, though any time of year works.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Plashet
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. If the problem is water dripping from the indoor unit and error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit, we can help.
In Plashet, a business system may need a leak check by law as well as a service, depending on how much refrigerant it holds. We record the checks and tell you when the next one is due.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What a service looks like in Plashet
4 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Plashet. About 4 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Plashet, Passmore Edwards Library (grade II) among them. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed. About 71% of homes across Plashet and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 42% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Terraced homes rarely have side access, so say whether we reach the back through the house, a garage or a rear lane. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools.
If you look after a school such as Plashet School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. If you run premises near Woodgrange Park station, ask about servicing several units in one visit.

System by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
F-gas leak checks are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, at least yearly up to 50 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Filters
When filters fill with dust, less air moves through the system. The room takes longer to get comfortable so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.
What happens if it’s left?
Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause instead of covering it up. Allow time for any approvals your building in Plashet needs.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

The process
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. A few photos of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Plashet.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Plashet questions
How do I get a quote for air conditioning servicing in Plashet?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
How often do you service systems in Plashet?
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.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you work in Plashet?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes Plashet.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the job, but most of the time it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. We will give you a firmer idea when we quote.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
From one of our customers
“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.”
