Air con servicing in Tewin
Air conditioning servicing across Tewin and nearby, from the first look to the final check and a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s typically back towards the indoor unit.
Air conditioning servicing in Tewin
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and systems that haven’t been serviced for a while.
In a village like Tewin, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

When to call us in Tewin
A slow leak can go unnoticed for a long time. The system just cools or heats a little less well each year and only becomes obvious when the weather is at its extreme.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
Site managers at schools like Ridgeway Academy can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Somewhere like Tewin, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that is been bothering you.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Tewin: your questions answered
Is Tewin within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is Tewin in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Tewin is one of the places we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few pictures.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How regularly should I have my air conditioning serviced?
An annual service suits most systems. Systems that work hard, such as those used for heating or in busy workplaces, may benefit from more frequent visits and it’s worth checking what your manufacturer recommends.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again, so we don’t recommend it.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing, so check the terms for your system. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

About 58% of homes across Tewin and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 52% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. In a terrace, the route to the back garden decides how the visit is planned. Tewin’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Tewin Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 11 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Tewin; Church of St Peter (grade I) is one. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.
