Common questions in Great Lea Common
How often should air conditioning in Great Lea Common be serviced?
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 offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
We do, for one unit at home or many across a site. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
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 keep each service record with the warranty paperwork.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Air conditioning servicing in Great Lea Common
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that’s overdue. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are F-gas leak checks falling due and no service record for the last year or more.
In a village like Great Lea Common, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. We plan the trip to Great Lea Common around you.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
The engineer looks at how well the system is moving heat, using temperatures and pressures to see whether it’s working as it should. If something points to a leak, we tell you and set out the options.
Condensate drains and pumps
Cooling pulls moisture out of the air, and that water has to drain away. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so it flows properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Hold on to every service report
When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork so you have the whole history together.
Make sure condensate pipes outside are not crushed, blocked or buried. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that’s normally back towards the indoor unit.
Let and managed properties
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
