Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Air conditioning servicing in Chilbolton, done properly
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. If the problem is air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and a unit showing a fault code, we can help.
In a village like Chilbolton, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
A maintenance contract takes the scheduling off your hands. We agree the visits and the cost up front, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse, and the manual shows how.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Chilbolton can be planned properly.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Advice
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Chilbolton?
Filters clog gradually, a little more every day the system runs. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the unit has to work harder to reach the set temperature.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.
What to look for in a quote
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved

Chilbolton questions
Does my air con in Chilbolton need a yearly service?
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 Chilbolton?
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.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
What does an air con service involve?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance with leak checks where the rules require them.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
