It’s become a lot more common in recent years for plumbers or any F-Gas registered tradesperson to install air conditioning units. With demand soaring due to the changing climate and more extreme temperatures this has come as a blessing. However, air con units do require servicing, and maintaining, something which many of these new install engineers won’t necessarily have the expertise or indeed time for.

Therefore air con servicing is where a specialist air conditioning professional is essential. At Simply Air Conditioning London we’ve specialised in maintenance, service and repair of air conditioning units since 2003. So if you’re in the London and Kent area and need your unit looked at or repaired don’t hesitate to give us a call on 020 7870 2333.

It is a legal requirement for business owners, landlords, and facilities managers to comply with F-Gas regulation by having units of certain specification regularly serviced.

There’s no legal servicing requirement for homeowners, but not doing so brings higher likelihood of increased costs in bills (systems become less energy efficient as a result of lack of servicing), equipment malfunction and voided warranties, not to mention poorer quality air.

The F-Gas Regulation

F-Gas regulation mean air conditioning units with at least 3kg of refrigerant must be inspected every year. Are you complying to your statutory check? Do you know how much refrigerant is in your system? Call Simply Air Conditioning London now on 020 7870 2333.

Regular, scheduled service known as PPM (or Planned Preventive Maintenance) must be carried out to keep air conditioning equipment in top working order, optimising its accuracy and efficiency. Preventive maintenance reduces any possibility of equipment failing before they actually do, and enhances the reliability of equipment by replacing any worn components prior to them failing.

The undertaking includes regular and routine cleaning, calibrating & adjusting, lubricating, testing, and, where necessary, replacing components and avoiding breakdown. The capability and thorough training of Simply Air Conditioning staff ensures your unit’s equipment is operated with optimum efficiency and its life expectancy is stretched to its maximum potential.

The frequency of the task is dependent upon frequency of usage as well as the unit type. An air conditioning unit used heavily should be checked and cleaned more often than one less often used. The PPM regularity suggested in manufacturers’ manuals are a good guide, but the frequency of usage of an air conditioning unit should be used to dictate the required regularity of maintenance.
