About our air conditioning servicing in Rownhams
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. The visits, the scope and the cost are fixed with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. The work covers multi-split systems, ducted systems and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check.
We book services in Rownhams at a time that suits you, and most single systems take an hour or two.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Servicing in Rownhams: local notes
Rownhams lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. The last census (2021) found about 76% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 4 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St John (grade II). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. Site managers at schools like Rownhams St John's Church of England Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Common questions in Rownhams
Does my air con in Rownhams need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Do you cover smaller places like Rownhams?
Yes. Rownhams is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e don’t need them.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after each visit.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Installation faults that need reworking
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems

Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. We do not carry out extra work until you’ve agreed it, so you stay in control of the cost.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs and should be moved away.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Around Rownhams, access is usually simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
