There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about weaker cooling than last year and no service record for the last year or more.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit 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 around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. In a London area like Puddle Dock, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
With a ducted system, the unit is hidden above the ceiling. We need access to the unit, its filters and its drain, so let us know where the hatch is.
Fans and electrics
Electrical connections are checked for tightness and signs of overheating. A loose terminal can be the cause of an intermittent fault, so this matters.
What air conditioning won’t do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooling capacity that does not match the space
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Puddle Dock
Is Puddle Dock in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Puddle Dock is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Does my air con in Puddle Dock need a yearly service?
Normally 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.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
As a guide, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Units that are hard to reach can take longer, and we will tell you in advance.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
