How we handle air conditioning servicing in Pratling Street
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours, and we can explain what yours says. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. We are often asked to deal with F-gas leak checks falling due and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, on ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.
In a village like Pratling Street, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
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.

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 equipment holding less than 10 tCO2e does not need them.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pratling Street
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
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 can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.

Air conditioning servicing around Pratling Street

If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.

Questions from Pratling Street
Does my air con in Pratling Street need a yearly service?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Pratling Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance plus a leak check on systems that need one.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
