- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
Air conditioning servicing in Swanley, done properly
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. If you’re dealing with humming, rattling or squealing from the system and condensate leaking into the room, we can sort it out.
A yearly service suits most systems around Swanley, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Swanley: your questions answered
How often do you service systems in Swanley?
Once a year suits most home systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Is Swanley in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Swanley is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
It depends on the brand. Some may have servicing conditions attached so it’s worth reading yours. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Why act early in Swanley
A musty smell from the system is rarely something that clears on its own. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause instead of covering it up. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Swanley
What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Swanley.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Maintenance contracts
We tailor the schedule to how hard the system works, rather than a one-size plan.
Filters
Certain indoor units carry additional filters alongside the main ones. They’re checked too, and we explain what the manufacturer suggests.
Keeping systems in Swanley running
The centre of Swanley lies within a conservation area. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. About 41% of homes across Swanley and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
For a school like St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term. For an office near Swanley station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours.
