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. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell
Servicing covers both halves of the system: the indoor units in the rooms and the outdoor unit outside. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell and the rest of Oxfordshire, for most leading brands. We are often asked to deal with ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and F-gas leak checks falling due, on ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and ducted systems.
Most systems around Brightwell-cum-Sotwell need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What else we do in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell
How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. 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. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Brightwell-cum-Sotwell.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.

Brightwell-cum-Sotwell questions
Does my air con in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is Brightwell-cum-Sotwell in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Brightwell-cum-Sotwell is one of the places we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few pictures.
Which brands do you work with?
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.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after each visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Why deal with it now?
If your system needs F-gas leak checks, they are not optional. Skipping a year leaves a gap in the records the rules expect you to keep, and it’s simpler to keep to the schedule. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes from property to property
Indoor and outdoor coils
Coil fins are thin and easily flattened. We will point out damaged fins and whether they matter.
Condensate drains and pumps
Some indoor units rely on a small pump to move the water. We check the pump runs and switches as it should since a stuck pump often means water from the unit.
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.”
