Air conditioning servicing in Aston, done properly
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. If you’re dealing with water dripping from the indoor unit and smells coming from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
Several units at a home near Aston can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What a service looks like in Aston
The middle of Aston is part of the Aston Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 11 within half a mile of the centre, such as Cote Baptist Church (grade II*). Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. The 2021 Census found about 76% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned.
Schools such as Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Aston
Is Aston in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Aston falls inside our working area. Just ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Does my air con in Aston need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. 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 I get records for the system?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Other services in Aston
System by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
In most homes, the indoor units are wall-mounted. Filters and covers come off easily for cleaning and the drain is cleared at the same visit.
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so it flows properly.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system, and we tidy up before we leave. Work in Aston is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Why act early in Aston
Check your manufacturer’s warranty conditions before letting servicing lapse. If servicing is one of the terms, a missing service record could matter if you ever need to make a claim. We’ll explain what your brand’s terms say. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why book with us
- Emergency calls taken 24/7
- Checkatrade member
- Covering London and the South East
- Warranty terms set out brand by brand

When to call us in Aston
Condensate has to drain away from every indoor unit. Debris in the tray or a sticky pump can stop it draining and the result is drips from the indoor unit.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Weaker cooling than last year
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- What records you get at the end
