Indoor and outdoor coils

Air conditioning servicing in Ardleigh
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, and we confirm the figure before we book you in. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. If you’re dealing with no service record for the last year or more and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, we can sort it out.
Several units at a home near Ardleigh can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Keeping systems in Ardleigh running
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 33% of homes across Ardleigh and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. Ardleigh’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Ardleigh Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 19 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Ardleigh, including Church of St Mary (grade II*). Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
Water dripping from the indoor unit often traces back to a drain that needs clearing. A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit, and we clear up before we go. Work in Ardleigh is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
Common questions in Ardleigh
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Ardleigh?
We do: Ardleigh falls inside our working area. Just ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Is Ardleigh within the area you cover?
Yes. Ardleigh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
We do, for one unit at home or many across a site. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again and that is money wasted.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
What does an air con service involve?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. You get a record of the visit.
Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
