What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition of any existing system
- How easy the units are to reach
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Somerton
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. A service clears it away, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. If you’re dealing with water dripping from the indoor unit and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, we can sort it out.
Most systems around Somerton need servicing once a year, best done before summer.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Visits to Somerton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays 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
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Servicing in Somerton: local notes
About 34% of homes in and around Somerton have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. Central Somerton is inside the Somerton Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Somerton. Church of St James, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 16 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Somerton’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Dust on the filters and coil makes the system work harder for the same result. If you can’t remember the last service, it’s probably due.

Common questions in Somerton
Do you cover Somerton for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Somerton is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How often do you service systems in Somerton?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
How much time does an air con service need?
A service takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, so ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email to arrange a time.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, for homes and businesses. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
What does an air con service involve?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s 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 work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Somerton
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

From one of our customers
“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.”
