The visits, the scope and the cost are fixed with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule.

Fans and electrics
Both units rely on fans to move air. We check they run smoothly and quietly and cleans dust from the indoor fan.

If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. If a lane or gateway near Polstead is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.

- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.

Related advice
Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Polstead
Dust settles on the filters every time the unit is on. Clogged filters choke the airflow, the coil can get too cold and the room takes longer to cool or warm.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
Clean filters and coils help a system cool better and use less electricity.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Common questions in Polstead
Is Polstead in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Polstead falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover smaller places like Polstead?
Yes. Polstead 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.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
We do, for one unit at home or many across a site. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote and the servicing happens on time.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
How much does an air conditioning service cost?
It’s £95–£150 + VAT for an annual service. More complex systems are priced on their details, so the cost is fixed before we start.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Check your brand’s conditions, which may mention servicing and file every service record.
