We can go through the terms with you. Booking before summer means the work in Potten End is done before the hot weather.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Maintenance contracts suit anyone who would rather not have to remember when the next service is due.

Most systems around Potten End need servicing once a year, best done before summer.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. 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 else we do in Potten End
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. If a lane or gateway near Potten End is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Before we arrive
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about parking and loading

Related advice
Potten End: your questions answered
How often do you service systems in Potten End?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Potten End?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
That is down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed and we will help you check what applies.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.

Common problems we fix in Potten End
The outdoor unit lives outside. Leaves, dirt and debris collect on the coil and around the casing and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- Iced-up coils or pipework
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due.
