How we handle air conditioning servicing in Bowmans
A service is not the same as a regas. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we will set out how. If the problem is warning lights on the indoor unit and iced-up coils or pipework, we can sort it out.
A yearly service suits most systems around Bowmans, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Bowmans questions
Will you come out to Bowmans?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How often should air conditioning in Bowmans be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. 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.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.

Common problems we fix in Bowmans
Systems that run most of the year collect dirt faster than ones used on a few hot days. A system used for heating as well as cooling, or one in a busy workplace, sees far more running hours, and they benefit from regular attention.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
Schools such as Wentworth Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Around Bowmans, access is usually simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- 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.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not wait for a small drip to become a leak
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
Once we have gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If you notice anything unusual, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will look into it.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. On many wall-mounted units, the filters lift out easily, and the manual shows how.
