- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- Keep the drain outlet clear
Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. Nothing extra is done without your say-so and the decision is always yours.
Act on the early signs. Odd noises, smells and drips are cheaper to sort out before they grow than after a breakdown.
Air conditioning servicing in Shooter's Hill
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. 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 work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. If the problem is error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, we can help.
For a flat or office in Shooter's Hill, tell us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it, so let us know how to get to it. If the building has a managing agent, we can book in with them.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What else we do in Shooter's Hill
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Shooter's Hill.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Advice
When to call us in Shooter's Hill
How often a system needs servicing depends partly on how hard it works. Heat pumps used for winter heating and units in busy offices, shops or kitchens get through a lot of air, and they benefit from regular attention.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A service that’s overdue
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
Offices and shops near Falconwood station can have their systems serviced without closing.
What to look for in a quote
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Shooter's Hill
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in Shooter's Hill?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Simple jobs can be priced from photos; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Does my air con in Shooter's Hill need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for example, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
That’s down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence, and we can explain what your brand asks for.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
What a service looks like in Shooter's Hill
Central Shooter's Hill is inside a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 8 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Shooter's Hill; Prospect Cottage (grade II) is one. Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 53% of homes in and around Shooter's Hill were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 41% of households in terraced houses. Terraced homes rarely have side access, so say whether we reach the back through the house, a garage or a rear lane. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools.
If you look after a school such as Shooters Hill Sixth Form College, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
