An annual service keeps your air conditioning running at peak efficiency, protects your manufacturer warranty and catches small problems before they become expensive breakdowns. We carry out thorough, systematic annual services on all brands of domestic and commercial air conditioning across Leicester — with a written report on every visit.
Homeowners and businesses across Leicester book their annual AC service with Elite Cooling & Heating.
An annual service is more than a filter rinse. Our engineers work through a systematic checklist that covers every component of the system — indoor unit, outdoor unit, refrigerant circuit, electrical connections and controls. We record the system's operating pressures and temperatures and compare them against manufacturer data, which tells us precisely how the system is performing and whether any intervention is needed.
The most common findings at annual services are partially blocked filters reducing airflow, mild contamination of indoor coil fins reducing heat transfer efficiency, and refrigerant charge slightly below the correct level. All three reduce cooling capacity and increase running costs — and none are visible without opening the unit. We clean the indoor coils with specialist biodegradable coil cleaner, rinse the filters and either clean or replace them, top up the refrigerant if needed and clear the condensate drain. The system is tested in both cooling and heating mode before we leave, and you receive a written service report recording everything we found and everything we did.
Most air conditioning manufacturers require annual servicing by a qualified engineer to maintain their extended warranty. We provide a service certificate after every visit that meets this requirement. If your system is still in its manufacturer warranty period, regular servicing is not optional — it is a condition of the warranty.
Same-week appointments available for domestic systems. Commercial maintenance contracts with fixed annual scheduling also available.
Book NowThe cost of an annual service is a fraction of the cost of a repair — and far less than a premature system replacement.
A clean, correctly charged system uses up to 25% less electricity than a neglected one. The service pays for itself through reduced energy bills within months.
Most AC breakdowns are caused by issues that develop slowly — low refrigerant, blocked filters, failing capacitors. Annual servicing catches these before they cause a failure.
Manufacturer warranties require annual servicing by a qualified engineer. Our service certificate protects your right to claim under warranty if a component fails.
Dirty filters and contaminated coils circulate bacteria, mould and allergens through the room. Annual cleaning restores clean, healthy air circulation.
A properly maintained AC system lasts 15–20 years. Neglected systems typically fail within 8–10 years. Annual servicing protects a significant capital investment.
We provide a written service report after every visit — useful for insurance claims, property sales and warranty applications.

We carry out annual services throughout Leicester and the surrounding region — same-week appointments available.
Our annual service includes: indoor unit filter removal and clean, indoor coil clean with professional coil cleaner, condensate drain check and clear, refrigerant pressure and temperature check, outdoor unit inspection and clean, electrical connection check, full system function test in cooling and heating mode, and a written service report with certificate.
A single wall-mounted split system is typically serviced in 90 minutes to two hours. Multi-split systems with multiple indoor units take longer — usually half a day. We will give you a time estimate when you book based on the system configuration.
Spring — before the hot weather arrives. This ensures the system is at peak performance when you need it most, and means any minor faults are identified and repaired before the summer. We are busiest in June and July, so booking in April or May avoids the longest wait times.
Yes. We carry refrigerant on all service vehicles and can top up the system on the day if our pressure checks show the charge is low. Refrigerant top-up is charged separately if required, based on the quantity added and the gas type.
