Air conditioning servicing in Rock-a-Nore, done properly
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Dust, fluff and anything else in the air ends up on those parts. Servicing removes it, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. We’re often asked to deal with leak check records that need bringing up to date and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes, on wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems.
A yearly service suits most systems around Rock-a-Nore, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Rock-a-Nore
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Rock-a-Nore?
It can. Rock-a-Nore is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Do you cover smaller places like Rock-a-Nore?
Yes. Rock-a-Nore is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
The answer is in your manufacturer’s warranty conditions. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence, and we can explain what your brand asks for.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
A typical service 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.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for instance, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.

How the job changes from property to property
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. That makes it harder for the system to reach the temperature you’ve set, which is why filters are always part of the service.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
In most homes, the indoor units are wall-mounted. They open up for the filters, coil and fan to be cleaned, and the drain is checked at the same time.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Keep the filters clean between visits
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
The best time to book the next service is now, while you remember. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating, though any time of year works.
Act on the early signs. Odd noises, smells and drips are cheaper to sort out before they grow than once the system has stopped.
