Air conditioning servicing in Shilton
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. If the problem is no service record for the last year or more and F-gas leak checks falling due, we can help.
For a home in or near Shilton, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Questions from Shilton
Do you cover Shilton for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Shilton is within the area we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Does my air con in Shilton need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Shilton and across Oxfordshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after every visit.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Shilton
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. That moisture traps dust, and a dirty coil and drain tray are a common source of musty smells.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
Site managers at schools like Carterton Community College can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. If a lane or gateway near Shilton is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- 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.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
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.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. Nothing extra is done without your say-so and the decision is always yours.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse, and the manual shows how.

“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.”
