Air conditioning servicing in Chatham Waterfront
Servicing does not mean topping up refrigerant. 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’ll set out how. If the problem is weaker cooling than last year and smells coming from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
We book services in Chatham Waterfront at a time that suits you, and a single system usually takes an hour or two.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

What happens on the day
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 attention later is pointed out. The visit takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Chatham Waterfront.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.

Common problems we fix in Chatham Waterfront
Each indoor unit makes water when it cools, and that water needs a clear route out. Debris in the tray or a sticky pump can stop it draining, and the water then has nowhere to go but out of the unit.
Customers normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A service that is overdue
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Iced-up coils or pipework
Offices and shops near Chatham station can have their systems serviced without closing.
Before you book anyone
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
Before you call an engineer
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

FAQs for Chatham Waterfront
How often should air conditioning in Chatham Waterfront be serviced?
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.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Chatham Waterfront?
It can, as Chatham Waterfront is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Is Chatham Waterfront in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Chatham Waterfront included.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The GOV.UK rules set leak checks at least every 12 months for 5 to under 50 tCO2e and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we will confirm which band applies.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
