How the job changes from property to property
Indoor and outdoor coils
Bent or damaged fins restrict the airflow across a coil. We will point out damaged fins and whether they matter.
Condensate drains and pumps
Some indoor units rely on a small pump to move the water. We check the pump runs and switches as it should since a stuck pump often means water from the unit.
About our air conditioning servicing in Westwood
Servicing covers both halves of the system: the indoor units in the rooms and the outdoor unit outside. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Westwood and the rest of Kent, whatever the make. The work covers multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are no service record for the last year or more and an unpleasant odour when the system runs.
For most homes near Westwood, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Servicing in Westwood: local notes
Westwood lies within about 2 miles of the sea. A yearly service matters more near the coast, where salt speeds up corrosion on coils and fixings. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Nash Court (grade II). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 38% of homes in and around Westwood before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 40% of households in terraced houses. Terraced homes rarely have side access, so say whether we reach the back through the house, a garage or a rear lane.
If you look after a school such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Westwood.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Common questions in Westwood
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Westwood?
It can, as Westwood is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Do you cover smaller places like Westwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 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.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
What does an annual air con service cost?
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT. We confirm the exact figure before we book the visit and bigger systems are priced once we know what’s installed.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Westwood?
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. Dust sticks to a wet surface, and over time the coil and drain tray can get dirty enough to smell.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Weaker cooling than last year
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due.

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.”
