About our air conditioning servicing in Romford
A service is not the same as a regas. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak somewhere. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts.
In Romford, the outdoor unit can be on a balcony, a roof or a rear wall, so let us know how to get to it. If the building has a managing agent, we can book in with them.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Let and managed properties
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.

Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Keep the filters clean between visits
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
What the work involves, system by system
Maintenance contracts
A maintenance contract sets out the visits, what each covers and the price, fixed with your quote. It works for one unit at home or many across a site.
Condensate drains and pumps
Slime and debris build up in drain trays over time. A clean tray means fewer drips and fewer smells.
Keeping systems in Romford running
The Romford Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Romford, within about a third of a mile. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Romford. On the National Heritage List, around 10 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Romford; Parish Church of St Edward the Confessor (grade II*) is one. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 30% of homes in Romford and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 49% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Outdoor units serving flats can be awkward to reach, so let us know where yours is. London outdoor units collect city dust and grime, so the outdoor coil gets particular attention on a service.
If you look after a school such as Concordia Academy, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Businesses close to Romford station can book an early or late slot so the service does not get in the way of trade.
