Our air conditioning service in GU21

Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Just ring us on 07833 053749 with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and you will hear back from us the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. Common call-outs are for an ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life and old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient, across VRF systems, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps.

Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
  2. Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
  3. The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
  4. Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
  5. Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.

How we quote

Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

Woking: Close to Woking station? A small study or box room used for work can typically be cooled with a single indoor unit. Botleys Mansion (roughly 4.3 miles north-east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

What affects the quote in GU21

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • What electrical work the job needs
  • Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
  • What we find on the survey or diagnosis
  • Whether we need access equipment for high-level work

Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • Any error code or flashing light on the display
  • The address and the type of property
  • The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
  • Any previous service or F-Gas records

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

When it’s something else

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
  • Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
  • An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet

Keeping the system healthy

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Have the system serviced once a year
  • Leave space around the outdoor unit
  • Never run the system with the filters out
  • Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use

We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, or as the manual recommends, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.

Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.

Why deal with it now?

A system that’s the wrong size never works well. Too small, and it runs flat out without catching up; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Getting the sizing right at the survey stage avoids both problems.

What your quote should include

  • What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
  • Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
  • The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
  • Whether the quote is a fixed price

Which brands do you work with?

The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.

How long does it take to fit air conditioning?

Allow about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. We confirm the time when we quote so there are no surprises.
