System by system
Indoor and outdoor coils
Outside, the coil gives off or picks up heat. It collects garden debris and dirt, so we clean it and clear the area around the unit.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Cassette units are set into the ceiling and blow air in several directions. We drop the grille to clean the filters and check the condensate pump.
Air conditioning servicing in Crawley
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours and we’re happy to go through them with you. Our service record shows the work was done. If the problem is warning lights on the indoor unit and F-gas leak checks falling due, we can sort it out.
In a village like Crawley, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Let and managed properties
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Visits to Crawley are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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 gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board

Common questions in Crawley
Is Crawley in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Crawley falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
How often should air conditioning in Crawley be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time and we will let you know before the visit.
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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. You get a record of the visit.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled and we will confirm which band applies.
Keeping systems in Crawley running
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Crawley, you reach the Crawley Conservation Area. Church of St Mary, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 22 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Crawley’s centre. Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
Water dripping from the indoor unit often traces back to a drain that needs clearing. Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

Landmarks near Crawley
Typical jobs here are in properties near Fox And Hounds Public House and the streets around them. The closest station to Crawley is Winchester station, about 4.5 miles south-east. Nearby you will also find Winchester Castle (4.8 miles south-east) and Royal Hampshire County Hospital (4.5 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Winnall Moors.
Safe owner checks
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, 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.
What a customer said
“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.”
