Air conditioning servicing in Tilgate, done properly
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. If the problem is warning lights on the indoor unit and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
For most homes near Tilgate, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

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 the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Tilgate.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Refrigerant performance and leak checks
We check how the refrigerant circuit is performing, using temperatures and pressures to see whether it’s working as it should. If the readings suggest gas has been lost, we explain what that means.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Wall-mounted units are the most common indoor unit in homes. They open up for the filters, coil and fan to be cleaned and the drain is cleared at the same visit.
Pricing air conditioning servicing in Tilgate
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy the units are to reach
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The address and the type of property
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or send an email with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.

Air conditioning servicing in Tilgate: the local picture
There are 6 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Tilgate. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. About 75% of homes in Tilgate and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 46% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Terraced homes rarely have side access, so say whether we reach the back through the house, a garage or a rear lane.
If you run premises near Crawley station, ask about servicing several units in one visit. Schools such as The Oaks Primary School & Nursery can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

FAQs for Tilgate
How often should air conditioning in Tilgate be serviced?
Once a year suits most home 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.
Do you cover Tilgate for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Tilgate is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
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.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. You get a record of the visit.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
