About our air conditioning servicing in Foxendown
Many manufacturers attach conditions to their warranties, and some of those may include regular servicing. Each brand sets its own terms, and we can explain what yours says. Our service record shows the work was done. If the problem is a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit, we can help.
Around Foxendown, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Foxendown questions
Will you come out to Foxendown?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Foxendown for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Foxendown is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again and that’s money wasted.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, so ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange a time.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What does an air con service involve?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
After the service, you get a record of what was done, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork so you have the whole history together.
Book a service at least once a year with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.

Do you need air conditioning servicing in Foxendown?
Small refrigerant leaks don’t announce themselves. Performance drops slowly, until it cannot keep up on the hottest or coldest days.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- A unit showing a fault code
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Keeping systems in Foxendown running
There are 3 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Foxendown. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 6 within half a mile of the centre, such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist (grade I). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 70% of homes in and around Foxendown to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 89% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
If you look after a school such as Meopham Community Academy, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
