About our air conditioning servicing in Shalford
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours and we’re happy to go through them with you. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. If you are dealing with condensate leaking into the room and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, we can help.
Most systems around Shalford need servicing once a year, best done before summer.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Shalford.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Report drips, smells or noises early
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
After the service, you get a record of what was done, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork so the service history is in one place.
Do not ignore small changes. Odd noises, smells and drips are cheaper to sort out before they grow than once the system has stopped.

How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
We check how the refrigerant circuit is performing, using temperatures and pressures to see whether it’s working as it should. If the readings suggest gas has been lost, we explain what that means.
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. That makes it harder for the system to reach the temperature you’ve set so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.
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.”
