Air conditioning servicing for Purley

About our air conditioning servicing in Purley

Servicing covers both halves of the system: the indoor units in the rooms and the outdoor unit outside. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We service systems in Purley and across Greater London, whatever the make. If the problem is noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit and a service that’s overdue, we can sort it out.

Commercial systems in a London area like Purley may need F-gas leak checks as well as a service, depending on how much refrigerant it holds. The check is recorded, with the next date noted.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Looking after it afterwards

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Book the service at least once a year
  • Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
  • Keep the drain outlet clear

When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork so the service history is in one place.

Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs, so clear them back.

Air conditioning servicing in Purley: the local picture

In the mile around Purley’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Purley. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed. Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 31% of homes across Purley and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. City dust and debris build up on London outdoor units, which is why servicing matters.

Schools such as Christ Church CofE Primary School (Purley) can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Purley: your questions answered

Is Purley in your area for air conditioning servicing?

We do: Purley falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few pictures.

What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in Purley?

Send us pictures of the room or the system and a few details about the property. Simple jobs can be priced from photos; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.

Do you work on all makes?

We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.

Who is responsible for 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’ll work out which band applies to yours.

Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?

Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we’ll confirm which band applies.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

How long does the visit take?

We will confirm the time with your quote. As a guide, the work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation.

What happens on the day

Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Purley will be.

  1. We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
  2. On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
  3. Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
  4. Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
  5. We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
  • Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
  • Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Advice

Before you call an engineer

There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

Do you need air conditioning servicing in Purley?

Dust settles on the filters every time the unit is on. Clogged filters choke the airflow, the coil can get too cold and the room takes longer to cool or warm.

It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:

  • No service record for the last year or more
  • Smells coming from the indoor unit
  • Weaker cooling than last year

Offices and shops near Purley station can have their systems serviced without closing.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
  • Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
  • How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected

Questions to ask before booking
