Keeping systems in Upham running
Upham’s centre falls inside the Upham Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 19 within half a mile of the centre, such as Penhale Cottage (grade II). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed. Census 2021 figures found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
If you look after a school such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due.

Air conditioning servicing in Upham, done properly
A service is not the same as a regas. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit.
For a home in or near Upham, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What owners can safely do
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Upham.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
Upham questions
Is Upham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How often should air conditioning in Upham 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.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after each visit.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
What does an air con service involve?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. You get a record of the visit.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning servicing in Upham
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- How many units are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light

What a customer said
“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.”
