F-Gas certified servicing and repair

Working on the refrigerant circuit is regulated by UK law. Service Heat & Cool holds the company F-Gas certificate and the engineer holds the personal qualification, so gas checks, leak repairs and top-ups are done properly and legally by the same person who visits your property.

F-Gas certified — FGAS3029925

The certificate number is publicly verifiable. It is a legal requirement for anyone handling refrigerant, not an optional extra.

Any system, whoever fitted it

Servicing and repair are available for split and multi-split systems whether or not we installed them. Need a new system instead? See air conditioning installation.

What a service includes

A proper air conditioning service

A yearly service keeps the system efficient, helps it last longer and finds small problems before they turn into a breakdown in the first hot week of summer.

Filters and coils

Indoor filters cleaned and the indoor coil checked and cleaned, so air flows freely and the unit does not have to work harder than it should.

Drain and condensate

The condensate drain is checked and cleared to prevent the water leaks that damage walls and ceilings.

Outdoor unit

Outdoor unit, fan and coil checked for dirt, damage and corrosion, with pipework and insulation inspected.

Refrigerant checks

Refrigerant circuit checked for leaks and correct operation by an F-Gas certified engineer.

Electrical and controls

Electrical connections, remote control and settings checked, and the system tested in both cooling and heating modes.

Clear report

You are told what was found and what, if anything, needs attention. Nothing extra goes ahead until you have agreed the price.

Common faults

Air conditioning repairs we deal with

01

Not cooling or blowing warm air

Often dirty filters or coils, low refrigerant from a leak, or an outdoor unit fault. Turn it off and book a visit rather than running it, because low refrigerant can damage the compressor.

Most common
02

Water leaking from the indoor unit

Usually a blocked condensate drain or a dirty coil. A quick fix in most cases, but worth sorting before the water marks walls or ceilings.

FAQs

Air conditioning servicing questions

How often should air conditioning be serviced?

Once a year is the usual recommendation for a home split system. A yearly service keeps the filters and coils clean, lets the engineer check the refrigerant circuit and electrical connections, and catches small faults before they become breakdowns. Systems that run most of the year, such as in a garden office or server room, can benefit from a service every six months.

Why is my air conditioning not cooling?

The most common causes are dirty filters, a blocked or dirty coil, low refrigerant caused by a slow leak, or a fault with the outdoor unit or controls. Check that the filters are clean and that the unit is set to cool mode. If it still blows warm air, switch it off and book an engineer, because running a unit with low refrigerant can damage the compressor.

Why is my air conditioning leaking water?

Water leaking from the indoor unit is usually a blocked condensate drain pipe, a dirty coil or a unit that is not level. It is a common fault and normally a quick fix, but it should be sorted promptly because the water can damage walls and ceilings.

Do you need F-Gas certification to repair air conditioning?

Yes. Anyone who works on the refrigerant circuit, including leak repairs, gas top-ups and gas checks, must hold a personal F-Gas qualification, and the business must hold a company certificate. Service Heat & Cool holds F-Gas certification FGAS3029925.

How much does an air conditioning service cost in Swindon?

The price depends on the number of indoor units and the type of system. You are given the price before any work starts, and if a repair or extra work is needed you are told what it is and what it will cost before it goes ahead.

Can you service air conditioning that you did not install?

Yes. Servicing and repair are available for split and multi-split systems whether or not they were installed by Service Heat & Cool.
