How we handle air conditioning servicing in Swanwick
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, ducted systems and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are humming, rattling or squealing from the system and error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit.
We plan the trip to Swanwick and can service more than one unit in one visit.
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. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Swanwick can be planned properly.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Swanwick
Is Swanwick within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How often should air conditioning in Swanwick be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
What does an air con service involve?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too plus a leak check on systems that need one.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
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.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Are you F-Gas certified?
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.
Why deal with it now?
Faults found on a service can often be put right before they cause a breakdown. Waiting until the unit stops means dealing with it on the hottest day of the year. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.
