How we handle air conditioning servicing in Stubbles

FAQs for Stubbles
Is Stubbles within the area you cover?
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.
Do you cover Stubbles for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Stubbles is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How much time does an air con service need?
It takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
Once a year as a minimum for most homes and businesses. Larger systems may need leak checks every 12 or 6 months under the F-gas rules and we check which applies to yours.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached so it’s worth reading yours. We are happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Stubbles?
Dust settles on the filters every time the unit is on. As they fill, less air gets through and the unit has to work harder to reach the set temperature.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
Clean filters and coils help a system cool better and use less electricity.
What to look for in a quote

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
To find tCO2e, multiply the kg of refrigerant by its GWP and divide 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.
Indoor and outdoor coils
Outside, the coil gives off or picks up heat. Leaves, dirt and debris clog the fins and we clean it and make sure the air can flow.
Keeping systems in Stubbles running
About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Stubbles, including Pyt House (grade II). Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
If you can’t remember the last service, it’s probably due.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. For a village like Stubbles, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear access to the fuse board
How to get a quote

Advice
Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. 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.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
