Selsted air conditioning servicing
Air conditioning servicing across Selsted and nearby, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off with the price fixed before work begins.
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
Leave it or put it right?
Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. The cure is cleaning where the dirt has built up, rather than masking it. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.

Air conditioning servicing in Selsted
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Selsted and the rest of Kent, for most leading brands. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are no service record for the last year or more and iced-up coils or pipework.
Several units at a home near Selsted can be serviced in one visit.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. 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.

Different systems, different jobs
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
F-gas leak checks are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards: at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Filters
When filters fill with dust, less air moves through the system. That makes it harder for the system to reach the temperature you’ve set so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.

Keeping systems in Selsted running
About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Selsted, Thatched Cottage (grade II) among them. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 47% of homes across Selsted and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 68% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. If you look after a school such as Selsted Church of England Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Questions from Selsted
Do you cover Selsted for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Selsted is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Does my air con in Selsted need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Check your brand’s conditions, which may mention servicing and file every service record.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
What air conditioning servicing cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Cooling capacity that doesn’t match the space
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work

How it works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit, and we tidy up before we leave. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Selsted can be planned properly.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that is been bothering you.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
