Air conditioning servicing in Boughton Malherbe, Kent
Our engineers work in Boughton Malherbe on air conditioning servicing. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- No service record for the last year or more
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
Why deal with it now?
Check your manufacturer’s warranty conditions before letting servicing lapse. If yours does, a gap in the service history could matter if a fault comes up later. We can go through the terms with you. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Boughton Malherbe
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. We are often asked to deal with a system that struggles to cool on warm days and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, across ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.
In a village like Boughton Malherbe, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Some indoor units rely on a small pump to move the water. The pump is tested to make sure it works, because a failed pump is a common reason for drips.
Fans and electrics
The indoor and outdoor fans move the air across the coils. The engineer listens for noise and checks for wobble or wear and cleans dust from the indoor fan.
For landlords and property managers
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
The process
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Boughton Malherbe, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that is been bothering you.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
Questions from Boughton Malherbe
How often do you service systems in Boughton Malherbe?
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.
Is Boughton Malherbe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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 tell you why.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again, so we don’t recommend it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
