Service Overview
What an air conditioning service involves
An air conditioning service is a planned check and clean of your indoor and outdoor units. We clean or replace filters, clean coils and fans, clear the condensate drain, check refrigerant performance, test electrical connections and controls, and confirm the system heats and cools as it should.
Servicing is for anyone who owns an air conditioning system, whether it is one split unit in a bedroom or several units across an office, shop, restaurant or gym. We service systems across Hereford and Herefordshire for domestic and commercial customers.
We recommend a yearly service for all systems. A yearly servicing agreement is offered with every installation we carry out. Many customers book their service in spring so the system is ready before the summer, but any time of year works.
Professional servicing matters because the parts that affect performance, such as the refrigerant (cooling gas) pipes and the electrics, should only be handled by trained engineers. We are F-Gas and REFCOM registered, so your system is checked safely and legally.
Why It Matters
What happens when servicing is skipped
Air conditioning units pull in a lot of air every day. Over time, dust, pollen and grime build up on filters and coils. Airflow drops, the unit has to work harder, and your electricity bill rises while cooling and heating power falls.
Blocked condensate drains are one of the most common faults we see on unserviced systems. When the drain clogs, water backs up and can drip from the indoor unit onto walls, floors and furniture. Dirty coils and drain trays can also produce musty smells in the room.
Small issues such as a worn electrical connection or a slow refrigerant leak are easy to spot during a service. Left alone, they can lead to a full breakdown, often in the middle of a heatwave when you need the system most, and a repair that costs far more than a yearly visit.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Waiting until the system stops working before calling an engineer
- Only cleaning the filters and assuming that counts as a service
- Using someone who is not F-Gas registered to check refrigerant
- Ignoring early signs such as smells, drips or weaker airflow
- Letting several years pass between services

In Detail
Servicing for different systems and premises
Every system type and setting needs slightly different attention. Here is what we look at depending on your equipment.
Split and multi-split systems
For wall-mounted split and multi-split units, we focus on filters, the indoor coil and blower wheel, the drain tray and pump if fitted, and the outdoor unit's coil and fan. On multi-split systems we check each indoor unit individually.
Ducted systems
Ducted systems hide the indoor unit in a ceiling void, so filters and drains are easy to forget. We access the unit, clean the filter and coil, check the drain and inspect grilles and ductwork connections for airflow problems.
Commercial servicing
Offices, shops, bars, restaurants, gyms, medical premises and industrial units often run their systems for long hours. Kitchens and gyms add grease and humidity. We can plan servicing around your opening hours and provide RAMS for commercial sites.
Cellar cooling servicing
Cellar cooling units work hard year-round to keep stock at the right temperature. A yearly service checks the indoor and outdoor units, the drain and the controls so your cellar stays cool through busy periods.
Brands we service
We are an accredited installer for Panasonic, Samsung, LG and Mitsubishi, and we understand the maintenance needs of these leading brands.
Why yearly, not every few years
Dirt build-up and wear happen steadily. A yearly visit catches problems while they are small and keeps efficiency close to how it was on the day the system was installed.
