About our air conditioning servicing in Doddinghurst
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. Typical jobs include warning lights on the indoor unit and no service record for the last year or more, across ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and VRF systems.
For a home in or near Doddinghurst, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Doddinghurst: your questions answered
Does my air con in Doddinghurst 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Doddinghurst?
Yes. Doddinghurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. Nothing extra is done without your say-so and the decision is always yours.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s normally back towards the indoor unit.
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. For a village like Doddinghurst, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that is been bothering you.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

When something else is needed
Air conditioning servicing can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Cooling capacity that does not match the space
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
