Common questions in Foxholes
How often should air conditioning in Foxholes be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is Foxholes within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We check the label and tell you whether your system needs checks and how often.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again and that is money wasted.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Who has to arrange F-Gas 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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
About our air conditioning servicing in Foxholes
A service is as much a check-up as a clean. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. If the problem is ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and humming, rattling or squealing from the system, we can sort it out.
For most homes near Foxholes, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

What we’re called out for in Foxholes
Dust settles on the filters every time the unit is on. Clogged filters choke the airflow, the coil can get too cold and the room takes longer to cool or warm.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- A unit showing a fault code
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
If you run premises near Hertford East station, ask about servicing several units in one visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- If the figure could change on the day
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
- A system that’s too small for the room it serves
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ceiling cassettes are common in offices, shops and restaurants. The grille drops down for the filters, and the drain and pump are checked inside.
Filters
Filters catch dust before it reaches the coil. We clean them and check for damage, and if a filter is past its best we tell you.
What happens on the day
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Foxholes.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
