How it works
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 don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Harrowcross so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Harrowcross
Is Harrowcross within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does my air con in Harrowcross need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- Cooling capacity that doesn’t match the space
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Harrowcross
System by system
Indoor and outdoor coils
The outdoor coil does the same job on the other side of the system. It collects garden debris and dirt, so we clean it and clear the area around the unit.
Condensate drains and pumps
Slime and debris build up in drain trays over time. A clean tray means fewer drips and fewer smells.
From one of our customers
“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.”
