What happens on the day
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Before a visit in Upper Ruxley, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Places near Upper Ruxley
What else we do in Upper Ruxley
For landlords and property managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
What a service looks like in Upper Ruxley
In the mile around Upper Ruxley’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first. About 51% of homes in and around Upper Ruxley date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. Site managers at schools like Hope Community School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Upper Ruxley: your questions answered
How do I get a quote for air conditioning servicing in Upper Ruxley?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
How often do you service systems in Upper Ruxley?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached so it’s worth reading yours. We’re happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the job, but most of the time it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. We’ll give you a firmer idea when we quote.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas, priced before we start.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after every visit.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. We clean the drain tray and clear the pipe so it flows properly.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ducted units sit out of sight in ceiling voids. Servicing means reaching the unit through an access hatch, so let us know where the hatch is.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
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.”
