Air conditioning servicing in Bexley Riverside
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some do not. 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 tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. If the problem is smells coming from the indoor unit and no service record for the last year or more, we can sort it out.
In a London area like Bexley Riverside, many systems run hard in summer and for heating in winter, so a yearly service keeps them efficient. Outdoor units on balconies and roofs pick up city dust and debris, which a service clears.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Report drips, smells or noises early
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. We don’t carry out extra work until you’ve agreed it, so you stay in control of the cost.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse, and the manual shows how.

Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first. VOA council tax data show about 40% of homes in and around Bexley Riverside date from 1919 to 1939. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. London outdoor units collect city dust and grime, so the outdoor coil gets particular attention on a service.

The visit takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Let us know who controls access to the building in Bexley Riverside, as that saves time on the day.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Bexley Riverside questions
Does my air con in Bexley Riverside need a yearly service?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Bexley Riverside?
We do: Bexley Riverside falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
