Air conditioning servicing in Puddledock
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. Our service record shows the work was done. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are a service that’s overdue and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit.
Several units at a home near Puddledock can be serviced in one visit.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Puddledock
Filters clog gradually, a little more every day the system runs. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the unit has to work harder to reach the set temperature.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
If you look after a school such as Hextable Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Common questions in Puddledock
Do you cover Puddledock for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Puddledock is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Puddledock within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
We do, for one unit at home or many across a site. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
A service takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, so phone us on 07833 053749 or email us to arrange a time.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
System by system
Filters
Certain indoor units carry additional filters alongside the main ones. We check these as well and explain what the manufacturer recommends.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Cassette units are set into the ceiling and blow air in several directions. The grille drops down for the filters, and the drain and pump are checked inside.
