Service plans
Or book it every year
With a plan the date goes in the diary each year, so the service never slips. The Heating and cooling plan adds an October visit to check the unit before it starts warming the house. Every visit covers the checks in a single service, for less than booking them one at a time.
Single unit
£85 a year
- One visit each spring
- Filters, coil and drain cleaned

- Service sheet for your files
Two or more units
£120 a year

Heating and cooling
£175 a year
- A visit in April and another in October
- Heating mode tested before winter
- One or two indoor units
- A service sheet each time
Sample plans for a fictional business. A plan covers servicing only; if a visit turns up a fault, you get a separate quote to accept or turn down.
Questions
About servicing and maintenance
Is a yearly service a legal requirement?
For larger systems, regular leak checks are. Under the F-gas rules in Great Britain, equipment holding F gas equal to 5 tonnes of carbon dioxide or more must be leak checked at least every 12 months, or every 24 months where an automatic leak detection system is fitted. Most single-room home units hold less than that, so for them a yearly service is good care rather than a legal duty.
Will you look after a unit another firm fitted?
Yes. Wall, ceiling and ducted units from other installers are serviced the same way as our own. The first visit runs a little longer while we record the model and the pipe route.
Can several units be serviced on one visit?
Yes. Allow 60 to 90 minutes for one indoor unit and its outdoor unit, and about 30 minutes for each extra indoor unit.
