Air conditioning servicing in Tackley, done properly
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. Servicing removes it, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit.
In a village like Tackley, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.

How we price air conditioning servicing
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The size of the job
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What else we do in Tackley
Tackley questions
Does my air con in Tackley need a yearly service?
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.
Is Tackley in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Tackley is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again and that is money wasted.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front, and each visit is recorded.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. 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.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Tackley.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Before we arrive
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
