Preston Crowmarsh questions
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Preston Crowmarsh?
Yes, Preston Crowmarsh is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
How often do you service systems in Preston Crowmarsh?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business 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.
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. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval, and we can tell you where your system sits.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again, so we don’t recommend it.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Preston Crowmarsh
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. If you’re dealing with smells coming from the indoor unit and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
Several units at a home near Preston Crowmarsh can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. The visit itself takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Work in Preston Crowmarsh is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Before you call an engineer
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.

Fans and electrics
The indoor and outdoor fans move the air across the coils. The engineer listens for noise and checks for wobble or wear and clean the indoor fan where dust has built up.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Cassette units are set into the ceiling and blow air in several directions. We drop the grille to clean the filters and check the condensate pump.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
