About our air conditioning servicing in Upper Harbledown
A service is not the same as a regas. 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 you are dealing with a system that struggles to cool on warm days and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, we can sort it out.
Several units at a home near Upper Harbledown can be serviced in one visit.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What we do, step by step

On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Upper Harbledown.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.

- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.

Questions from Upper Harbledown
How often do you service systems in Upper Harbledown?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Will you come out to Upper Harbledown?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
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.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. We agree the cost up front, and each visit is recorded.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing, and keep each service record with the warranty paperwork.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Upper Harbledown?
How often a system needs servicing depends partly on how hard it works. Heat pumps used for winter heating and units in busy offices, shops or kitchens get through a lot of air and so builds up dirt more quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- Condensate leaking into the room
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.
Comparing quotes
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
