Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
About our air conditioning servicing in South Street
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We service systems in South Street and across Kent, for most leading brands. Typical jobs include smells coming from the indoor unit and error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit, on wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
Most systems around South Street need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. If a lane or gateway near South Street is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A service can find a worn part or a loose connection while the system is still running. Left alone, the same fault tends to show itself when you most need the system. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

What the work involves, system by system
Maintenance contracts
With a contract, the number of visits, the scope and the cost are agreed in writing before the first visit. It suits homes and businesses alike.
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. The room takes longer to get comfortable so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.

FAQs for South Street
How often do you service systems in South Street?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is South Street within the area you cover?
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.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
A service does not include adding refrigerant. If a system has lost refrigerant, it has leaked from somewhere. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled and we will confirm which band applies.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
A service takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send an email to book.
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.”
