Common questions in Bowcombe
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Bowcombe?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Bowcombe is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Does my air con in Bowcombe need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Topping up without finding the leak means the gas escapes again and that is money wasted.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Bowcombe
We’re asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. Common call-outs are for an unpleasant odour when the system runs and F-gas leak checks falling due, across multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ducted systems.
Several units at a home near Bowcombe can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Servicing in Bowcombe: local notes
About 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. The middle of Bowcombe is part of a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 4 within half a mile of the centre, such as Bowcombe Farmhouse (grade II). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. For a school like Christ The King College, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

What else we do in Bowcombe
Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.
How the visit works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. If a lane or gateway near Bowcombe is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be 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.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
How the job changes from property to property
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so the water has a clear path out.
Fans and electrics
Electrical connections are checked for tightness and signs of overheating. A loose terminal can be the cause of an intermittent fault and is easily put right.
Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
