Emergency Call-Outs
When your Air Conditioning stops working we understand this can be serious, sometimes a real emergency, especially when your guests have just flown in, humidity levels are high and the A/C unit wont switch on, or its leaking water, it needs to be sorted quickly.
Service & Maintenance
The majority of manufacturers now offer 5-year warranties, these however are subject to annual maintenance by an F-GAS Certified Company. If you do not have your equipment serviced these warranties become null and void, which could result in expensive repairs even on a new system.
Is your A/C system getting a proper Service?
Your air conditioning & heat pump systems are a major investment and naturally you will want to protect and ensure their life as much as you would if you purchased a new car.
If you took your car to be serviced and they cleaned the windscreen, would you accept this and pay €250? There are many prices out there today for servicing AC systems from €10 to €100 per unit, before you choose your supplier, ask the following important questions.
- Ask to see their F-Gas License, this is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT within the EU, even to service an air conditioner.
- Refrigerant gas should not be included!. It is illegal to “top up” a leaking system, without repairing the leak first. (LEGAL REQUIREMENT)
- Ask what is included within the service?
The photos below show a clean in progress, the right hand side shows how your system should look on the inside after a visit, clean, free of mould, sanitized, fascias cleaned, fully operational and healthy. An average service visit should take approx. 30mins, per system, not just 5mins for a filter clean. We carry out extensive operational checks to ensure your system is running at its optimal, giving you maximum performance, energy savings and peace of mind.
