About our air conditioning servicing in Chawton
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. 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. We’re often asked to deal with error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and a service that’s overdue, across wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.
Most systems around Chawton need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Owner checks or an engineer?
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.
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 ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Chawton: your questions answered
How often do you service systems in Chawton?
For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Chawton?
Yes, Chawton is within the area we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing and file every service record.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It takes the scheduling off your plate.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Visits to Chawton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and 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.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

System by system
Fans and electrics
We look at the wiring and terminals for anything loose or discoloured. Loose connections can cause faults that come and go, so this matters.
Filters
When filters fill with dust, less air moves through the system. The room takes longer to get comfortable, which is why filters are always part of the service.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
