About our air conditioning servicing in Harmer Green
People in Harmer Green book a service for all sorts of reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that’s overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. The work covers ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are systems that haven’t been serviced for a while and warning lights on the indoor unit.
Most systems around Harmer Green need servicing once a year, best done before summer.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Common questions in Harmer Green
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Harmer Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Harmer Green is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
How often do you service systems in Harmer Green?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
The visit takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Any repair found on the day is priced and agreed before it’s done, and you can call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to book.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
It depends on the brand. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing so it’s worth reading yours. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
System by system
Maintenance contracts
The visit frequency is set around the system and how it’s used, rather than a one-size plan.
Indoor and outdoor coils
Room air passes over the indoor coil, which takes heat out or puts it in. We clean it so air can pass through the fins and heat can pass in and out and any damage is noted.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Harmer Green.
