Air Conditioning Servicing in Tilehurst
One call covers air conditioning servicing in Tilehurst: diagnosis, fixed price, work and sign-off. F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and Checkatrade members.
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
After we have gone
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Don’t wait for a small drip to become a leak
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record and the next one falls due within 6 or 12 months, depending on the system. We can diary it for you.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that is usually back towards the indoor unit.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Tilehurst
People in Tilehurst book a service for all sorts of reasons: a musty smell, weak cooling, water dripping indoors or simply because it’s been a while. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. We are often asked to deal with new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
A service around Tilehurst is booked to suit you, and a single system normally takes an hour or two.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tilehurst
Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause instead of covering it up. Booking before summer means the work near Tilehurst is done before the hot weather.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

FAQs for Tilehurst
How often do you service systems in Tilehurst?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Is Tilehurst in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Tilehurst falls inside our working area. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tilehurst
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Tilehurst.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
