About our air conditioning servicing in Shiplake
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. Servicing removes it, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. Typical jobs include a unit showing a fault code and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, on multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems.
Several units at a home near Shiplake can be serviced in one visit.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What a service looks like in Shiplake
Census 2021 figures found about 73% 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. On the National Heritage List, around 9 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Shiplake; Church of St Peter and St Paul (grade II*) is one. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
Businesses close to Wargrave station can book an early or late slot so the service does not get in the way of trade. Site managers at schools like Shiplake Church of England School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Shiplake questions
How often should air conditioning in Shiplake be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Is Shiplake in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Shiplake is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
Expect it to take around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. 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.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Shiplake.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

After we have gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- Keep the drain outlet clear
Where the system needs F-gas leak checks, the result is recorded, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow and should be moved away.
Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
