Air conditioning servicing in South Norwood
Servicing does not mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we’ll set out how. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are weaker cooling than last year and a service that’s overdue.
In South Norwood, the outdoor unit can be on a balcony, a roof or a rear wall, so let us know how to get to it. Managed buildings may need the visit booked through the agent.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in South Norwood
If your system needs F-gas leak checks, they aren’t optional. Skipping a year leaves a gap in the records the rules expect you to keep and it’s far easier to stay on schedule. Booking in spring means a home or office in South Norwood is ready before the first hot week.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system, and we tidy up before we leave. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in South Norwood.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Safe owner checks
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Different systems, different jobs
Filters
Some systems have extra filters for fine dust or odours. We check these as well and explain what the manufacturer recommends.
Condensate drains and pumps
Some indoor units rely on a small pump to move the water. We check the pump runs and switches as it should since a stuck pump often means water from the unit.
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in South Norwood
How often should air conditioning in South Norwood 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.
Do you cover South Norwood for air conditioning servicing?
We do: South Norwood falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. You get a record of the visit.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
