How we handle air conditioning servicing in Upper Horsebridge
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some do not. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. The work covers ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and people most often call us about smells coming from the indoor unit and systems that haven’t been serviced for a while.
Outdoor units around Upper Horsebridge tend to be close to gardens and hedges, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Every service includes cleaning it.
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. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Upper Horsebridge
Does my air con in Upper Horsebridge need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you cover Upper Horsebridge for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Upper Horsebridge is within the area we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
A service doesn’t include adding refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Why deal with it now?
When air cannot get through the unit easily, the system has to run longer to get there. Cleaning them is a small job, and it means the system is not straining through the summer. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.

The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Upper Horsebridge.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- 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
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as North Heath Farmhouse (grade II). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed.
