Air Conditioning Servicing in Shepway

- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- No service record for the last year or more
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Shepway.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- 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.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Shepway

The work covers VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and weaker cooling than last year.

How the job changes from property to property
Fans and electrics
The indoor and outdoor fans move the air across the coils. We check they run smoothly and quietly and cleans dust from the indoor fan.
Filters
Certain indoor units carry additional filters alongside the main ones. We check these as well and explain what the manufacturer recommends.
What happens if it’s left?
Check your manufacturer’s warranty conditions before letting servicing lapse. If servicing is one of the terms, a missing service record could matter if you ever need to make a claim. We can go through the terms with you. Planning ahead for a job near Shepway means we can arrive with everything needed.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

Shepway: your questions answered
How often should air conditioning in Shepway be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is Shepway in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Shepway is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
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.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
Expect it to take an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference so we’ll confirm the time when we book.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.

It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- Weaker cooling than last year
- A unit showing a fault code
If you look after a school such as Greenfields Community Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
