Comprehensive Air Conditioning & AHU Maintenance in Leicester
Comprehensive Domestic & Commercial Servicing Plans
Location: Leicester & The Midlands
Expert Air Conditioning Maintenance & Servicing
Whether you had your system installed by ACRC LTD or another A/C company, regular servicing is vital. The frequency of your service depends on several factors, including the type of unit, the working environment, and the frequency of use. After our initial visit, we can advise you on the optimal maintenance schedule—whether that requires multiple visits a year for a busy commercial site or just a single annual service and leak test for a domestic unit.
What Does a Standard AC Service Include?
For split type, multi-split, and VRV air conditioning systems, our engineers will attend the site and carry out the following comprehensive checks:
Filters: Removed, cleared of debris, disinfected, and treated with a commercial filter deodorizer.
Coils: Both evaporator and condenser coils are cleared and thoroughly flushed with a specialist coil disinfectant cleaner.
Drainage: Condensate pumps and gravity drains are rigorously checked and tested.
Electrical: Basic incoming voltage and communication lines are tested for stability.
Fans: Wall-mount barrel fans are inspected; cassette blades are sprayed and wiped down.
Housings: Indoor and outdoor unit housings are sprayed and wiped down with a multi-purpose disinfectant.
Performance: Air-off temperatures are checked in both heating and cooling modes using a calibrated temperature sensor.
Refrigerant: Gauges are connected, and refrigerant pressures are checked.
Diagnostics: For Daikin and Mitsubishi Heavy VRV systems, laptop service checkers are connected to assess the thorough status of each unit and its components.
Commercial Air Handling Unit (AHU) Servicing
Most commercial buildings utilize both supply and extract Air Handling Units (AHUs). To keep them running efficiently, a scheduled maintenance plan is essential. Supply AHUs contain filters (box, bag, HEPA, or media) and sometimes drive belts that require periodic replacement to prevent debris from reaching the internal coil. During a routine AHU maintenance visit, we will:
Remove and inspect filters from both supply and extract AHUs, determining if they can be cleared or require replacement.
Check heating and cooling coils, brushing them clear of debris and treating them with disinfectant.
Inspect drive belts for splits or wear, noting sizes for replacement (spares can be kept on-site if requested).
Deep clean the internal AHU fan housing to remove debris.
Verify that actuator valves feeding the AHU coil operate correctly on demand.
Check refrigerant circuit pressures if a DX (Direct Expansion) system is present.
Run up the AHU to ensure fans are operating smoothly and dampers are opening/closing appropriately.
