Air con servicing in Wakes Colne
For annual servicing and F-Gas leak checks for domestic and commercial air conditioning in Wakes Colne, one call is all it takes, from the first look to sign-off. F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and Checkatrade members.
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
Put the next service in the diary straight away. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating although we service all year round.
Act on the early signs. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than once the system has stopped.
Air conditioning servicing in Wakes Colne, done properly
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are smells coming from the indoor unit and weaker cooling than last year.
In a village like Wakes Colne, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Wakes Colne: your questions answered
Does my air con in Wakes Colne need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Wakes Colne?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Wakes Colne is part of that. To start, ring 07833 053749 or send an email with a few pictures.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How much time does an air con service need?
A typical service takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Units that are hard to reach can take longer and we’ll let you know before the visit.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What happens if it’s left?
When air cannot get through the unit easily, the system has to run longer to get there. A service puts that right with a clean, and it means the system isn’t straining through the summer. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. For a place like Wakes Colne, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- 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.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
