Air conditioning servicing in Shawford, done properly
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. Common call-outs are for systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and a system that struggles to cool on warm days, on ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home in or near Shawford, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Questions from Shawford
Is Shawford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Shawford for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Shawford is within the area we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time and we’ll let you know before the visit.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows, priced before we start.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after every visit.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Shawford.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays 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.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning servicing, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A system that’s too small for the room it serves
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 and we will give you a straight answer.

Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What we’re called out for in Shawford
The outdoor unit lives outside. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
What we are most often called about:
- No service record for the last year or more
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- Weaker cooling than last year
Businesses close to Shawford station can book an early or late slot so the service does not get in the way of trade.

A customer’s words
“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.”
