Air conditioning servicing in Shotover Hill, done properly
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. If you’re dealing with no service record for the last year or more and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes, we can help.
For most homes near Shotover Hill, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. 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. Around Shotover Hill, access is typically simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Shotover Hill questions
Will you come out to Shotover Hill?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
How often should air conditioning in Shotover Hill 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.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, for homes and businesses. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How we price air conditioning servicing
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The pipe route between the units
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
