Air conditioning servicing in Bodicote
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 work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. We’re often asked to deal with frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, on air-to-air heat pumps, multi-split systems and VRF systems.
A yearly service suits most systems around Bodicote, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
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.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Bodicote
Is Bodicote within the area you cover?
Yes. Bodicote is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How often do you service systems in Bodicote?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas, priced before work begins.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
What affects the quote in Bodicote
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- How many units are involved
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Keeping systems in Bodicote running
About 43% of homes in the Bodicote area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 75% 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. The Bodicote Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Bodicote, within about a third of a mile. In the mile around Bodicote’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 36 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St John the Baptist (grade II*). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
If you can’t remember the last service, it’s probably due. Schools such as Longford Park Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. 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.
After we’ve gone
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the filters clean between visits
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If anything seems off, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll look into it.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that is normally back towards the indoor unit.
The process
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Visits to a place like Bodicote are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
