Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Hold on to every service report
- Book the service at least once a year
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
A maintenance contract takes the scheduling off your hands. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs, so clear them back.
About our air conditioning servicing in Great Horkesley
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some do not. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and no service record for the last year or more.
In a place like Great Horkesley, the outdoor unit often sits near a garden, hedge or trees, so the outdoor coil can clog with leaves and seeds. Every service includes cleaning it.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Great Horkesley questions
Is Great Horkesley within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How often do you service systems in Great Horkesley?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing and file every service record.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.

Servicing in Great Horkesley: local notes
Tile House, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 9 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Great Horkesley’s centre. 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. VOA council tax data show about 73% of homes across Great Horkesley and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 62% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. For a school like The Bishop William Ward Church of England Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Great Horkesley.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
