Air conditioning servicing in South Chailey, done properly
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. If you are dealing with noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
Several units at a home near South Chailey 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, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
Once we have gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If you notice anything unusual, ring 07833 053749 and we’ll look into it.
Book a service at least once a year, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to South Chailey so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Common questions in South Chailey
Does my air con in South Chailey need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Will you come out to South Chailey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked with leak checks where the rules require them.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for instance, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
A service takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Any repair found on the day is priced and agreed before it’s done, so give us a ring on 07833 053749 to arrange a time.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What happens if it’s left?
A blocked condensate drain usually gets worse rather than better. What starts as a damp patch under the indoor unit can become water running down the wall, so it’s worth clearing before that happens. Booking before summer means the work in South Chailey is done before the hot weather.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
