Air conditioning servicing in Rudmore
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are a service that’s overdue and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check.
For most homes near Rudmore, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Rudmore.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Pricing air conditioning servicing in Rudmore
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The number of rooms, units or zones
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call 07833 053749 or send an email.
