Hampshire · Air conditioning servicing
Air con servicing in Winchester
One call covers air conditioning servicing in Winchester: diagnosis, fixed price, work and sign-off. An F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved, on Checkatrade.
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. We do not carry out extra work until you’ve agreed it and the decision is always yours.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.
Air conditioning servicing in Winchester, done properly
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some do not. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. Typical jobs include F-gas leak checks falling due and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, across ceiling cassettes, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems.
In a place the size of Winchester, we service home systems, offices, shops and restaurants. A service cleans the filters and coils, clears the drain, checks the refrigerant circuit and electrics, and tests the system.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.
What air conditioning servicing can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
If you’re not sure, just call 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Send pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go, and we can plan the work in Winchester.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. Winchester is about 61 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Schools such as St Bede Church of England Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty. Offices and shops near Winchester station can have their systems serviced without closing.

Questions from Winchester
How often should air conditioning in Winchester be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in Winchester?
The easiest way is to give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details and pictures. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows, priced before any work starts.
Is Winchester in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Winchester included.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
We do. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It takes the scheduling off your plate.
Can I do the refrigerant work 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 can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Leave it or put it right?
A service can find a worn part or a loose connection while the system is still running. Left alone, the same fault tends to show itself when you most need the system. Getting the work booked early in Winchester avoids the busiest weeks.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

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.”
