Air conditioning servicing in Wincheap
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. Each brand sets its own terms and we’re happy to go through them with you. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. If you’re dealing with a unit showing a fault code and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, we can help.
We book services in Wincheap at a time that suits you, and most single systems take an hour or two.
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.

What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Around Wincheap, access is normally simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Wincheap questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wincheap?
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.
How often do you service systems in Wincheap?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What does an air con service involve?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. You get a record of the visit.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front and you get a record after every visit.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
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’ll gladly show you ours.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Shut doors to the room so the system isn’t cooling the whole house
- Keep the filters clean between visits
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
After the service, you get a record of what was done, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork so the service history is in one place.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs and should be moved away.
How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The law requires leak checks once a system reaches 5 tCO2e: at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed equipment holding less than 10 tCO2e does not need them.
Indoor and outdoor coils
Bent or damaged fins restrict the airflow across a coil. We’ll point out damaged fins and whether they matter.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
