How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Charlton-in-Dover can be done in one go where possible.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Charlton-in-Dover
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. Common call-outs are for warning lights on the indoor unit and a system that struggles to cool on warm days, on wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and VRF systems.
A service around Charlton-in-Dover is booked to suit you, and a single system normally takes an hour or two.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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.

What else we do in Charlton-in-Dover
Charlton-in-Dover questions
How often should air conditioning in Charlton-in-Dover be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Will you come out to Charlton-in-Dover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time and we will let you know before the visit.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What does an air con service involve?
We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance plus a leak check on systems that need one.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, for homes and businesses. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.

What we’re most often called about:
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
Businesses close to Dover Priory station can book an early or late slot so the service does not get in the way of trade.
