About our air conditioning servicing in Walkern
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. We are often asked to deal with weaker cooling than last year and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, across ducted systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
In a village like Walkern, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Common questions in Walkern
Does my air con in Walkern need a yearly service?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Walkern?
Yes. Walkern is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We check the label and tell you whether your system needs checks and how often.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
That’s down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed and we will help you check what applies.
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.
When to call us in Walkern
Systems that run most of the year collect dirt faster than ones used on a few hot days. 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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Weaker cooling than last year
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
What a service looks like in Walkern
The centre of Walkern lies within the Walkern Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 37 within half a mile of the centre, such as Farmhouse at Manor Farm (grade II*). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. The last census (2021) found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
Schools such as Walkern Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Safe owner checks
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. We plan the trip to Walkern around you.
- 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
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
