Air conditioning servicing that protects your investment

Our technicians will check the system, clean the filters and make necessary repairs, so your air conditioning runs smoothly and efficiently.

Like any machine, air conditioning needs looking after. A system that isn’t properly maintained gradually becomes less efficient, costs more to run and is more likely to break down — leading to costly repairs. Regular servicing keeps it performing at its best and helps it last longer.

Service checklist

What’s included in an air conditioning service?

A thorough service covers both the indoor and outdoor units.

  1. Filters cleaned

    Indoor unit filters are cleaned so air flows freely and the system doesn’t have to work as hard.

  2. Indoor & outdoor units inspected

    Checked for wear, damage, debris, secure mountings and signs of corrosion.

  3. Performance tested

    Operating pressures and temperatures checked against expected performance.

  4. Condensate drain cleared

    Drain lines checked and cleared to help prevent leaks and musty smells.

  5. Electrics & controls checked

    Connections, remotes and settings tested so everything responds as it should.

  6. Report & recommendations

    Clear feedback on your system’s condition, with any necessary repairs explained.

Service intervals

How often should air conditioning be serviced?

As a general guide, these are the intervals we recommend. Your manufacturer’s guidance always comes first.

Type of systemRecommended service interval
Home air conditioningOnce a year
Offices, shops and salonsEvery 6 – 12 months
Restaurants, kitchens & dusty workshopsEvery 3 – 6 months
Server and comms roomsEvery 3 – 6 months
Seafront and coastal propertiesEvery 6 months

Systems that run long hours, sit near the sea or work in greasy or dusty air need attention more often.

How to look after your air conditioning between services

A few simple habits keep your system efficient all year.

Clean the filters regularly

Most indoor units have washable filters that slide out from under the front panel. A gentle rinse every few weeks during heavy use makes a noticeable difference — check your manual first.

Keep the outdoor unit clear

Remove leaves, plants and anything stored against the outdoor unit so it can breathe.

Run it occasionally out of season

Running the system briefly every few weeks helps keep components moving and lets you spot problems early.

Book a professional service

Filter cleaning is no substitute for a full service, which checks pressures, electrics and drainage you can’t easily reach.
