We book services in East Saltdean at a time that suits you, and most single systems take an hour or two.

Questions from East Saltdean

Does my air con in East Saltdean need a yearly service?

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.

Will you come out to East Saltdean?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.

Are you F-Gas certified?

AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?

We check refrigerant performance on every service, but adding gas is separate work. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas with a fixed price for each step.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.

Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?

That is down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed, and we can explain what your brand asks for.

System by system

Indoor and outdoor coils

The outdoor coil does the same job on the other side of the system. Leaves, dirt and debris clog the fins and we clean it and make sure the air can flow.

Filters

Certain indoor units carry additional filters alongside the main ones. They’re checked too, and we explain what the manufacturer suggests.

How it works

Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. 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 an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We plan the visit to East Saltdean from the survey or your photos.

  1. When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
  2. On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
  3. Filters are cleaned, coils treated and the drain tray and pipe cleared.
  4. Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
  5. You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know where the consumer unit is
  • Keep pets and children away from the work area
  • Let us know where we can park and unload

Advice

What a service looks like in East Saltdean

At about 1 mile from the coast, East Saltdean is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 53% of homes in East Saltdean and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.

Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more. Site managers at schools like Saltdean Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

What happens if it’s left?

For most systems at or over 5 tCO2e, leak checks are a legal requirement, not a choice. Missing one leaves you without the check and the record and it’s far easier to stay on schedule. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.

The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
