FAQs
What does your comprehensive air-conditioning maintenance programme include?
Our engineers carry out a full system health check that covers: cleaning or replacing filters, indoor and outdoor coil cleaning, checking and topping up refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, inspecting fan belts and motors, testing thermostats and control circuitry, checking condensate drains, verifying airflow and static pressure, and ensuring the unit complies with current F-Gas regulations. A written service report, with any recommendations for repairs or optimisation, is provided after every visit.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my air-conditioning system in Harrogate?
For most domestic units we recommend one planned preventative maintenance visit per year, usually in early spring before the cooling season. Commercial and multi-split systems generally benefit from two visits per year—spring and autumn—to cope with higher usage and to maintain warranty compliance. If your equipment runs continuously (e.g. server rooms, hospitality venues) quarterly inspections may be advisable.
Will regular maintenance really reduce my energy bills?
Yes. Studies by the Carbon Trust show that a poorly maintained air-conditioning system can consume 15–30 % more energy. Cleaning coils and filters, calibrating thermostats, and ensuring correct refrigerant charge all allow the compressor and fans to work at their designed efficiency. In Harrogate’s mixed climate, optimised equipment can shorten run-times during both peak summer days and mild shoulder seasons, directly lowering electricity costs.
Do I still need maintenance if my air-conditioner is under warranty?
Absolutely. Most manufacturer warranties state that professional maintenance must be carried out at the recommended intervals to keep the warranty valid. Service records provided by our REFCOM-registered engineers act as proof of compliance. Skipping maintenance can result in denied claims should a component fail, and any consequential damage might not be covered.
How long does a typical maintenance visit take and will it disrupt my home or business?
A routine domestic split-system service normally takes 45–60 minutes. Multi-split or VRF systems in commercial premises can take 1–3 hours depending on the number of indoor units. We schedule visits at times convenient to you and can work outside normal trading hours if required. Our engineers use protective coverings and leave the workspace clean, keeping disruption to an absolute minimum.
What warning signs indicate my AC system needs immediate maintenance or repair?
Watch for reduced airflow, unusual noises (grinding, rattling, hissing), unpleasant odours, frequent cycling on and off, water leaks around the indoor unit, or a sudden rise in energy bills. If the air coming from the vents is not as cool as usual, or if the outdoor unit is icing up in mild weather, book a call-out straight away. Addressing issues early prevents breakdowns during peak summer heat and helps avoid costly component replacements.
