What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Somewhere like Sydenham, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served 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.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.

Air conditioning servicing in Sydenham, done properly
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. The work covers multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are F-gas leak checks falling due and a system that struggles to cool on warm days.
Most systems around Sydenham need servicing once a year, best done before summer.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Different systems, different jobs
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.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
With a ducted system, the unit is hidden above the ceiling. Servicing means reaching the unit through an access hatch so it helps to know where the access is before we arrive.
Sydenham questions
How often should air conditioning in Sydenham be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you cover smaller places like Sydenham?
Yes. Sydenham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
What does an air con service involve?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
It takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we will give you an idea when we book.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What air conditioning will not do
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Safe owner checks
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Air conditioning servicing around Sydenham
The Sydenham Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Sydenham. Historic England lists about 23 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Sydenham, including Church of St Mary (grade II*). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. Dust on the filters and coil makes the system work harder for the same result.
