Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Great Waltham
Maintenance contracts suit anyone who would rather not have to remember when the next service is due. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. If you are dealing with systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and a unit showing a fault code, we can help.
For a home in or near Great Waltham, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Different systems, different jobs
Condensate drains and pumps
Where water can’t drain by gravity, a condensate pump lifts it. We check the pump runs and switches as it should, because a failed pump is a common reason for drips.
Filters
The filter is the first line of defence for the indoor unit. On a service, they’re cleaned and checked for tears and we will say if one needs replacing.
What happens if it’s left?
Faults found on a service can often be put right before they cause a breakdown. Waiting until the unit stops means dealing with it on the hottest day of the year. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Rented and managed buildings
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

FAQs for Great Waltham
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Great Waltham?
Yes. Great Waltham is one of the places we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Does my air con in Great Waltham need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance plus a leak check on systems that need one.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system, and we tidy up before we leave. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Great Waltham so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

From one of our customers
“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.”
