Common reasons people call us are:
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- A service that is overdue

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in South Willesborough
Do you cover South Willesborough for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. South Willesborough is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How often should air conditioning in South Willesborough be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
What does an air con service involve?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Honest limits
Air conditioning servicing can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- A system short of gas because of a leak
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Before you call an engineer
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. 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. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
