Air conditioning servicing in Ash Vale
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Multi-split, ducted and commercial systems are priced once we know what’s there. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. Typical jobs include weaker cooling than last year and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, on air-to-air heat pumps, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes.
A service around Ash Vale is booked to suit you, and a single system normally takes an hour or two.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. A few pictures let us plan a visit to a place like Ash Vale.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Book the service at least once a year
The best time to book the next service is now, while you remember. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating although we service all year round.
Do not ignore small changes. Odd noises, smells and drips are cheaper to sort out before they grow than after a breakdown.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Ash Vale
Does my air con in Ash Vale 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.
Is Ash Vale in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Ash Vale falls inside our working area. Just call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How much time does an air con service need?
The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, so give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email to arrange a time.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Cooling capacity that does not match the space
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
