Refrigerant performance and leak checks
tCO2e is the refrigerant charge in kg multiplied by its global warming potential, divided by 1,000. As an example, 3 kg of R32 comes to about 2.0 tCO2e, while 3 kg of R410A is about 6.3 tCO2e. We check the label on your system and tell you where it sits.
Fans and electrics
Controls and remote handsets are tested in each mode so you know it does what you ask.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in St John Street area
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. Servicing removes it, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are drips or damp patches below an indoor unit and weaker cooling than last year.
A yearly service suits most systems around St John Street area, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Do you need air conditioning servicing in St John Street area?
Filters clog gradually, a little more every day the system runs. As they fill, less air gets through, the coil can get too cold and the room takes longer to cool or warm.
Look out for any of the following:
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Air conditioning that is not cooling as well as it did
For an office near Oxford station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours.
What your quote should include
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- If the figure could change on the day
St John Street area: your questions answered
How often should air conditioning in St John Street area be serviced?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Do you cover smaller places like St John Street area?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
Expect it to take around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference so we will confirm the time when we book.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

Advice
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.”
