Air conditioning servicing in Puttenham
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. Common call-outs are for a service that’s overdue and F-gas leak checks falling due, on ceiling cassettes, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems.
Several units at a home near Puttenham can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.

How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. For a village like Puttenham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Puttenham questions
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Puttenham?
We do: Puttenham falls inside our working area. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
How often do you service systems in Puttenham?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
That’s down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence and we will help you check what applies.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s 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.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after every visit.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Access and the number of units decide most of the time so we’ll confirm the time when we book.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Pricing air conditioning servicing in Puttenham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- How many units are involved
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Puttenham
Electrical terminals can work loose as the system heats, cools and vibrates. A loose connection can cause faults that come and go which is why they’re checked on every service.
Customers usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Weaker cooling than last year
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.
Questions to ask before you book
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- If the figure could change on the day
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.”
