About our air conditioning servicing in Shelley
People in Shelley book a service for all sorts of reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that’s overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. Common call-outs are for iced-up coils or pipework and error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit, on ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems.
For a home in or near Shelley, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Keeping systems in Shelley running
The 2021 Census found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned. In the mile around Shelley’s centre, 3 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Shelley, including Shelley Hall (grade II*). 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.
If you look after a school such as Ongar Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Hold on to every service report
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can book it in ahead of time.
Act on the early signs. Odd noises, smells and drips are cheaper to sort out before they grow than after a breakdown.

What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. We plan the trip to Shelley around you.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Shelley
Will you come out to Shelley?
Yes. Shelley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
How often do you service systems in Shelley?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
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 each visit is recorded.
What does an air con service involve?
A full clean and check of the system. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance with leak checks where the rules require them.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Installation faults that need reworking
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What a customer said
“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.”
