Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Shalden
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 VRF systems, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a unit showing a fault code and condensate leaking into the room.
For a home in or near Shalden, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. If a lane or gateway near Shalden is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
System by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ducted units sit out of sight in ceiling voids. We need access to the unit, its filters and its drain, so let us know where the hatch is.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
To find tCO2e, multiply the kg of refrigerant by its GWP and divide by 1,000. As an example, 3 kg of R32 comes to about 2.0 tCO2e, while 3 kg of R410A is about 6.3 tCO2e. We check the label on your system and tell you where it sits.

Shalden: your questions answered
How often do you service systems in Shalden?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you cover smaller places like Shalden?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
How much time does an air con service need?
The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, so call us on 07833 053749 or email us to arrange a time.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. You get a record of the visit.
Let and managed properties
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
Keeping systems in Shalden running
About 45 miles out from central London, Shalden is part of the South East area we work across. The Shalden Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Shalden. Manor Farmhouse, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 11 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Shalden’s centre. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. Clean filters and coils help a system cool better and use less electricity.

Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
From one of our customers
“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.”
