How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Fobbing.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Advice
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Fobbing
Does my air con in Fobbing need a yearly service?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Fobbing?
It can, as Fobbing is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Do you cover Fobbing?
Yes. We work in Fobbing and across Thurrock, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
To find tCO2e, multiply the kg of refrigerant by its GWP and divide by 1,000. As an example, 3 kg of R32 comes to about 2.0 tCO2e, while 3 kg of R410A is about 6.3 tCO2e. We read the charge from the unit’s label and work it out for you.
Condensate drains and pumps
Some indoor units rely on a small pump to move the water. The pump is tested to make sure it works since a stuck pump often means water from the unit.
Common problems we fix in Fobbing
The outdoor unit lives outside. Leaves, dirt and debris collect on the coil and around the casing, which makes it harder for the unit to shed or pick up heat.
Customers normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What records you get at the end
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
Why deal with it now?
Servicing is planned, priced and booked at a time that suits you. A breakdown arrives without warning and that makes a planned service the simpler way to look after the system. For a village like Fobbing, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
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 talk you through it.
