How we handle air conditioning servicing in Southborough
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. The visits, the scope and the cost are fixed with your quote, and the servicing happens on schedule. If you are dealing with error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and a system that struggles to cool on warm days, we can sort it out.
For most homes near Southborough, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Pricing air conditioning servicing in Southborough
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The pipe route between the units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it

What we are called out for in Southborough
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:
- Weaker cooling than last year
- No service record for the last year or more
- Iced-up coils or pipework
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Around Southborough, access is normally simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a price
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Is Southborough in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Southborough falls inside our working area. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
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.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. 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.
