How we handle air conditioning servicing in Eltham
A service is not the same as a regas. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. If the problem is warning lights on the indoor unit and new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit, we can help.
Commercial systems in a London area like Eltham may need F-gas leak checks as well as a service, depending on its refrigerant charge. We record the checks and tell you when the next one is due.
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.

FAQs for Eltham
Is Eltham in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Eltham falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
How often should air conditioning in Eltham be serviced?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
The answer is in your manufacturer’s warranty conditions. 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.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.

What else we do in Eltham
What happens if it’s left?
A service can find a worn part or a loose connection while the system is still running. Left alone, the same fault tends to show itself when you most need the system. In London, hot spells can bring a rush of calls, so planning the work in Eltham before summer avoids the wait.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or send an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the visit 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 around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Eltham will be.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
Advice
Air conditioning servicing around Eltham
The centre of Eltham lies within a conservation area. Great Hall of Eltham Palace, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 40 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Eltham’s centre. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 40% of homes in Eltham and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 51% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). In flats, outdoor units are often on balconies, roofs or high walls, so tell us how we reach yours. London outdoor units collect city dust and grime, so the outdoor coil gets particular attention on a service.
Site managers at schools like St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday. Offices and shops near Mottingham station can have their systems serviced without closing.

What affects the quote in Eltham
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- What kind of system it is
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Good pictures often save a visit. Try to include:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- A system that’s too small for the room it serves
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer.
