Air conditioning servicing in Somerset
A proper service restores airflow, protects the compressor and catches leaks and drain faults before they cause damage. For homes and commercial premises, on a one-off or recurring basis.
Why servicing matters
An air conditioning system moves a lot of air through filters and across coils, so it collects dust, grease and biological growth. Clogged filters reduce airflow, which lowers capacity and raises running costs. A dirty indoor coil can freeze, and a blocked condensate drain eventually drips water through a ceiling or down a wall. Small faults that a service would catch cost far more to fix after they have developed.
Regular servicing also keeps the system efficient and, for most manufacturers, keeps the warranty valid.
What a service covers
- Indoor unit filters removed, cleaned and refitted
- Indoor coil, fan and casing inspected and cleaned as required
- Condensate drain and pump checked and cleared
- Outdoor unit coil, fan and mounting checked
- Refrigerant pressures and temperature differences checked against the manufacturer’s figures
- Electrical connections, isolator and controls inspected
- Operation and noise checked in cooling and heating
- Written findings and any recommended repairs
Deep cleaning of the indoor unit, and antibacterial treatment, can be added where the system has not been serviced for some time.
How often
For most homes, once a year is the standard recommendation, ideally in spring before the cooling season. Filters in a busy household, or one with pets, benefit from a quick clean every few weeks. Commercial systems, and any system in near-continuous use such as a restaurant or a server room, are normally serviced every six months or more often. Our guide, how often should air conditioning be serviced, goes through the factors.
Systems we service
We service single split, multi-split, ducted, cassette and floor-standing systems across the main manufacturers, whether we installed them or not. If a service finds something that needs fixing, we explain it and quote it before we do anything. If it is part of a wider contract, see planned maintenance; for a fault, air conditioning repairs.
Common questions.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend once a year for domestic units. Commercial or heavily used systems are normally serviced every six months. Filters should be cleaned more often than that.
How long does a service take?
A single split system takes around an hour. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems take longer in proportion to the number of units.
What if my air conditioning has never been serviced?
It can usually still be brought back into good condition. An initial deep clean may be recommended before a normal service schedule starts.
Do you service systems you did not install?
Yes, on all the major makes. We inspect it first and explain what we find.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Many manufacturer warranties require evidence of regular servicing by a competent engineer. Check yours, and keep the service record we give you.
