How we handle air conditioning servicing in Steyning
A service is not the same as a regas. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak somewhere. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. If you are dealing with error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and water dripping from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
Outdoor units around Steyning tend to be close to gardens and hedges, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Every service includes cleaning it.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

The centre of Steyning lies within the Steyning Conservation Area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Steyning. About 113 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Steyning, Brotherhood Hall (grade I) among them.

Steyning: your questions answered
How often should air conditioning in Steyning be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. 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 Steyning?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
A service takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, so call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form to arrange a time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
We do, for one unit at home or many across a site. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
When to call us in Steyning
A slow leak can go unnoticed for a long time. The system just cools or heats a little less well each year and only becomes obvious when the weather is at its extreme.
What we’re most often called about:
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
- A unit showing a fault code
If you look after a school such as Steyning CofE Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Visits to a place like Steyning are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- 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.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
