What does an air-conditioning service involve?
The work depends on the equipment, its condition and the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. We confirm the appropriate scope for your system. Checks and cleaning can include:
- Indoor-unit filters, airflow and visible dust build-up.
- Accessible indoor coils, fans and surrounding components.
- Condensate trays and drainage, including any fitted condensate pump.
- The outdoor unit’s condition, airflow and accessible debris.
- Operation in cooling and heating modes, where the system provides both.
- Explaining any findings and quoting for further work before it goes ahead.
Please mention high outdoor units, restricted access or units in several rooms when enquiring. This helps us plan the right appointment and equipment.
Routine maintenance or a fault?
Tell us before booking if the system is leaking water, showing an error code, making an unusual noise or failing to heat or cool. A routine maintenance visit and fault diagnosis are different appointments; we will explain the appropriate next step.
Any repairs or additional work are discussed and priced separately. If you are concerned about safety, stop using the system and arrange a professional assessment.
How often should it be serviced?
For many home systems, an annual service is a useful starting point. Equipment used heavily or for winter heating may need more frequent attention. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance for your model and check any servicing conditions attached to its warranty.
Keep a record of completed maintenance. Our guide explains why home air conditioning needs servicing and what you can look out for between visits.
Information to send when booking
- The make and model, plus a photograph of the equipment label if you have one.
- The number of indoor and outdoor units, and the rooms they serve.
- Your postcode and any access restrictions.
- When it was last serviced and whether you have noticed a fault or error code.
We confirm whether we can help with your equipment, explain the proposed visit and price, and agree a date subject to availability.

Air-conditioning servicing questions
How much does a service cost?
Servicing costs £70 including VAT per outdoor unit and £30 including VAT per indoor unit. Tell us the number of indoor and outdoor units, equipment details and any access restrictions when booking so we can confirm the total and appointment.
Can you service a system you did not install?
Send us the make, model, location and service history. We will confirm whether we can help with that equipment before arranging a visit.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Warranty conditions vary by model and manufacturer. Check your own terms and retain your service records. Tell us if you need a visit to meet a particular maintenance requirement so we can confirm the appropriate work.
Can I clean the filters myself?
Follow the user manual for any filter cleaning intended for the homeowner. Leave work involving electrics, the sealed refrigerant system or dismantling the equipment to a suitably qualified professional.
