Air conditioning servicing in Westwood, Kent
For air conditioning servicing in Westwood, one call is all it takes: diagnosis, fixed price, work and sign-off. An F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved, on Checkatrade.
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
Safe owner checks
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
About our air conditioning servicing in Westwood
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Dust, fluff and anything else in the air ends up on those parts. A service clears it away, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. The work covers ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about no service record for the last year or more and condensate leaking into the room.
Several units at a home near Westwood can be serviced in one visit.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Westwood: your questions answered
Is Westwood within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Westwood?
We do: Westwood falls inside our working area. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, for homes and businesses. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote and the servicing happens on time.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
It depends on the brand. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing, so check the terms for your system. We’re happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
A typical service takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Units that are hard to reach can take longer and we will let you know before the visit.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e don’t need them.

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Westwood
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 they benefit from regular attention.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Condensate leaking into the room
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
Clean filters and coils help a system cool better and use less electricity.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
After we have gone
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
- Hold on to every service report
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. Nothing extra is done without your say-so and the decision is always yours.
Book a service at least once a year, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Westwood.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be 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.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Advice
A customer’s words
“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.”
