FAQs for Viables
Does my air con in Viables need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Will you come out to Viables?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you top up refrigerant during 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. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A full clean and check of the system. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance with leak checks where the rules require them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Air conditioning servicing in Viables
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Dust, fluff and anything else in the air ends up on those parts. A service clears it away, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. Typical jobs include F-gas leak checks falling due and warning lights on the indoor unit, on multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems.
For most homes near Viables, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What happens if it’s left?
Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause instead of covering it up. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Common problems we fix in Viables
When the system cools, water condenses on the indoor coil. That moisture traps dust, and a dirty coil and drain tray are a common source of musty smells.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- A unit showing a fault code
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.

Safe owner checks
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What a customer said
