Air conditioning servicing in Tangmere

Air conditioning servicing in Tangmere

Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours, and we can explain what yours says. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. If the problem is water dripping from the indoor unit and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, we can sort it out.

We book services in Tangmere at a time that suits you, and a single system typically takes an hour or two.

Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.

FAQs for Tangmere

Do you cover Tangmere for air conditioning servicing?

Yes. Tangmere is one of the places we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few pictures.

Is Tangmere within the area you cover?

We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.

Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?

The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing, and keep each service record with the warranty paperwork.

What’s the price of a yearly air conditioning service?

It’s £95–£150 + VAT for an annual service. More complex systems are priced on their details, so the cost is fixed before we start.

Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?

Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.

Can I do the refrigerant work myself?

Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.

How it works

Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Tangmere can be done in one go where possible.

  1. We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
  2. We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
  3. We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
  4. Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
  5. Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
  • Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
  • Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Ask for a quote

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
  • Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
  • Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit

For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.

Make sure condensate pipes outside aren’t crushed, blocked or buried. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s usually back towards the indoor unit.

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Tangmere

Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit and that restricts the airflow it relies on.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
  • Condensate leaking into the room
  • Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit

Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
