What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. If a lane or gateway near Ardington is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
Air conditioning servicing in Ardington
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. If you’re dealing with F-gas leak checks falling due and air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did, we can help.
Around Ardington, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: 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.

Keeping systems in Ardington running
The centre of Ardington lies within the Ardington and East Lockinge Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 12 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Ardington, including Church of the Holy Trinity (grade II*). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. VOA council tax data show about 31% of homes in and around Ardington were built in 2000 or later. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due. Site managers at schools like Wantage Primary Academy can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

What happens if it’s left?
A blocked condensate drain usually gets worse rather than better. What starts as a damp patch under the indoor unit can become water running down the wall, so it’s worth clearing before that happens. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Questions from Ardington
Does my air con in Ardington need a yearly service?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Will you come out to Ardington?
Yes. Ardington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
It depends on the brand. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing so it’s worth reading yours. We’re happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

What else we do in Ardington
What affects the quote in Ardington
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- How easy the units are to reach
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think.
