About our air conditioning servicing in Falmer
A service is as much a check-up as a clean. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about iced-up coils or pipework and no service record for the last year or more.
Around Falmer, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Common problems we fix in Falmer
Electrical terminals can work loose as the system heats, cools and vibrates. A loose connection can cause faults that come and go, so the engineer checks them as part of the service.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- No service record for the last year or more
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
For a school like Brighton Aldridge Community Academy, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- If the figure could change on the day
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. For a village like Falmer, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Common questions in Falmer
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Falmer?
Yes. Falmer is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover smaller places like Falmer?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. 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.
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 are also Checkatrade members.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Shut doors to the room so the system isn’t cooling the whole house
After the service, you get a record of what was done, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so the service history is in one place.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. On many wall-mounted units, the filters lift out easily, and the manual shows how.

What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
