Air conditioning servicing in Aldham, done properly
Servicing covers both halves of the system: the indoor units in the rooms and the outdoor unit outside. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Aldham and the rest of Essex, for most leading brands. Common call-outs are for warning lights on the indoor unit and a system that struggles to cool on warm days, across VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.
We plan the trip to Aldham and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Aldham questions
Do you cover Aldham for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Aldham is part of that. To start, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
Do you cover smaller places like Aldham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
Not as a routine part of the service. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
It depends on the brand. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing, so check the terms for your system. We’re happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
What does an air con service involve?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. You get a record of the visit.
What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Visits to Aldham are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Related advice
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Aldham?
Dust settles on the filters every time the unit is on. As they fill, less air gets through and the unit has to work harder to reach the set temperature.
Look out for these signs:
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
With a ducted system, the unit is hidden above the ceiling. We need access to the unit, its filters and its drain so it helps to know where the access is before we arrive.
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The engineer looks at how well the system is moving heat, checking temperatures and pressures against what the system should achieve. If something points to a leak, we tell you and set out the options.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
