How we handle air conditioning servicing in South Ham
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. The work covers multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about smells coming from the indoor unit and humming, rattling or squealing from the system.
For most homes near South Ham, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep the filters clean between visits
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
Where the system needs F-gas leak checks, the result is recorded and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can diary it for you.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in South Ham
Do you cover smaller places like South Ham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover South Ham for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. South Ham is one of the places we cover. Just call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How often does air con need a service?
At least once a year is a sensible routine for most systems. Where the system runs most of the year, more frequent servicing can help and it’s worth checking what your manufacturer recommends.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. 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 let us plan a visit to a place like South Ham.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

When to call us in South Ham
Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
Site managers at schools like St Anne's Catholic Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
Questions to ask before you book
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
We check how the refrigerant circuit is performing, using temperatures and pressures to see whether it’s working as it should. If the readings suggest gas has been lost, we explain what that means.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
In most homes, the indoor units are wall-mounted. Filters and covers come off easily for cleaning and the drain is cleared at the same visit.
