About our air conditioning servicing in Trench Green
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. We’re often asked to deal with a unit showing a fault code and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, on VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
We plan the trip to Trench Green and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

System by system
Indoor and outdoor coils
Coil fins are thin and easily flattened. We note any damage and tell you if it’s affecting performance.
Filters
Some systems have extra filters for fine dust or odours. They’re checked too, and we explain what the manufacturer suggests.
Air conditioning servicing around Trench Green
About 91% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Keepers Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 6 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Trench Green’s centre. Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. Dust on the filters and coil makes the system work harder for the same result.

Owner checks or an engineer?
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Trench Green.
- 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.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote

Questions from Trench Green
How often do you service systems in Trench Green?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you cover Trench Green for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Trench Green is one of the places we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few pictures.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again, so we do not recommend it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How much time does an air con service need?
A typical service takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time, and we’ll tell you in advance.
What air conditioning servicing cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers

From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
