Air conditioning servicing in Purley on Thames
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. A service clears it away, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. The work covers multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and people most often call us about new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit and no service record for the last year or more.
We book services in Purley on Thames at a time that suits you, and a single system usually takes an hour or two.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What we’re called out for in Purley on Thames
Filters clog gradually, a little more every day the system runs. As they fill, less air gets through, the coil can get too cold and the room takes longer to cool or warm.
Look out for these signs:
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

Purley on Thames: your questions answered
Is Purley on Thames within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How often should air conditioning in Purley on Thames be serviced?
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.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Not as a routine part of the service. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after each visit.
What air conditioning servicing cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Multi-split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Purley on Thames can be done in one go where possible.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Before we arrive
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
