Air conditioning servicing in East Shalford
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in East Shalford and the rest of Surrey, for most leading brands. The work covers ducted systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are warning lights on the indoor unit and systems that haven’t been serviced for a while.
Around East Shalford, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to East Shalford easier.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

On the National Heritage List, around 4 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of East Shalford; Manor House (grade II) is one. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.

Common problems we fix in East Shalford
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. Dust sticks to a wet surface, and over time the coil and drain tray can get dirty enough to smell.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
For a school like Tillingbourne Junior School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

East Shalford: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like East Shalford?
Yes. East Shalford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How often should air conditioning in East Shalford be serviced?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
It takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Access and the number of units decide most of the time, and we will give you an idea when we book.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
What does an air con service involve?
A full clean and check of the system. Filters, coils and drains are cleaned, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit checked with leak checks where the rules require them.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Slime and debris build up in drain trays over time. Cleaning them helps with drips and with musty smells.
Indoor and outdoor coils
The indoor coil is where the air is cooled or warmed. Cleaning removes the dust that coats the fins, and we look for damage or corrosion.
