Air conditioning servicing in Ipswich

What an air conditioning service includes

• Clean or replace filters and check the indoor fan and coil
• Clean the indoor coil and treat it to stop smells and mould
• Flush the condensate drain and tray, and test any condensate pump
• Clean the outdoor coil and check the fan, mounts and casing
• Measure refrigerant pressures and temperatures and check for leaks
• Check electrical connections, isolators and controls
• Test cooling and heating output against what the system should deliver
• A written report with photos and anything that needs attention

How often should air conditioning be serviced?

Once a year suits most homes. Offices, shops, salons, gyms, server rooms and rental properties usually need a visit every six months because the units run longer hours and pull in more dust. Many manufacturers also ask for an annual service to keep extended warranties valid.

Signs your system needs attention now

• It takes longer than it used to to cool or heat the room
• A musty smell when it starts up
• Water dripping from the indoor unit
• New rattles, clicks or a louder outdoor unit
• Ice on the pipes or outdoor unit in summer
• An error code or flashing light

Maintenance plans

We offer annual and six-monthly plans with booked-in visits, a reminder before each one and priority if something goes wrong. Plans suit landlords and businesses with several units, and anyone who would rather not think about it.

F-Gas leak checks for businesses

If a system contains refrigerant equal to 5 tonnes of CO₂ or more (roughly 2.4 kg of R410A or 7.4 kg of R32), the operator must have it leak-checked by certified engineers at set intervals and keep records. We carry out the checks and keep the paperwork for you.

Servicing in Ipswich

We service systems all over Ipswich, from single bedroom units in Rushmere to cassette systems in offices on Ransomes Europark and comms rooms in the town centre. Landlords with several properties around the town use a plan so every unit is seen once a year and the paperwork is in one place.

Spring is the best time to book, before the first hot spell. If your system has not been serviced for a couple of years, a deep clean of the indoor coil and drain usually makes a noticeable difference to smell and performance.
