AIR CONDITIONING PLANNED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE MATLOCK  | AC UNIT PPM

For an Air Conditioning System which is simply what we call a 'Single Split System' (that is one indoor unit connected to one outdoor unit) prices start from £ 45 plus VAT.

For an Air Conditioning System which is simply what we call a 'Single Split System' (that is one indoor unit connected to one outdoor unit) we would be looking at between 3/4-1 hr in total.

There are many checks that are carried out during a Planned Preventative maintenance visit. The air filters are removed and cleaned, along with the outdoor heat exchanger (These are some of the most important things that require doing but are frequently overlooked). 

We check the indoor/outdoor unit's refrigeration pipework and mechanical connections for signs of refrigerant leaks or oil. Interconnecting cables are checked for termination and tightness. 

Drains are inspected and tested (Pumps included should they be applicable). Indoor/outdoor heat exchanger/s are inspected for signs of blockage along with the indoor fan blade/s. 

Communications are tested along with any historical alarm codes stored within the controller unit. The system is tested for performance and must meet certain criteria to be deemed sufficiently operational. 

Any recommendations are reported on the Engineer's Worksheet which is emailed directly to the client to read and action any necessary improvements should the client see fit and wish to proceed.

Domestic Installations - We would advise a Planned Preventative Maintenance visit every 12 months. If the system is used an a more frequent basis then this should be increased to every 6 months.

Commercial Installations - We would advise that your system/s are serviced every 6 months to ensure peace of mind and to maximise your return on your investment. 

Another key reason to have your systems maintained is to ensure you maintain your Manufacturers' Parts Warranty which can be invalidated should a lack of maintenance occur. 

It is also beneficial as the earlier any problems are identified with your system/s means that any damage potentially caused can be minimised and in most cases eradicated totally.

No, it is not illegal to not have your air conditioning serviced but it is strongly advisable to ensure the safe and correct operation of your system. 

By identifying an issue (should there be any) at an early stage can help reduce the repair costs of a system which has a problem. 

A typical example is if your existing system had a leak and it was not dealt with in a timely manner then your system could still operate (albeit not to maximum efficiency) and eventually damage you compressor (located in the outdoor unit). 

To decommission, remove, replace and recommission a system can become quite costly and would certainly be 3-4 times the cost of a simple repair should it be identified early.
