Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Tonbridge
People in Tonbridge book a service for all sorts of reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that’s overdue. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. If the problem is a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and a service that’s overdue, we can help.
A service in Tonbridge usually starts with the filters and the indoor coil, then the drain, the outdoor unit and the electrics, and we finish by testing the temperatures and checking for leaks.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ducted units sit out of sight in ceiling voids. We need access to the unit, its filters and its drain so it helps to know where the access is before we arrive.
Filters
The filter is the first line of defence for the indoor unit. On a service, they’re cleaned and checked for tears, and if a filter is past its best we tell you.

Leave it or put it right?
A service can find a worn part or a loose connection while the system is still running. Waiting until the unit stops means dealing with it on the hottest day of the year. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Access to the outdoor unit position is the main thing to tell us about in Tonbridge.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What does an air con service involve?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
