- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Getting ready for the visit

- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Getting a price

Hempstead: your questions answered
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Hempstead?
Yes. Hempstead is one of the places we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
How often should air conditioning in Hempstead be serviced?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some warranties may include conditions about regular servicing so it’s worth reading yours. We are happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
Not as a routine part of the service. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.

Hempstead’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Hempstead Conservation Area.

Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.

Why deal with it now?
Drainage problems tend to grow. What starts as a damp patch under the indoor unit can become water running down the wall, which is easily avoided by clearing the drain on a service. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Warranty terms set out brand by brand
- Fixed-price quotes after a survey or photos
- Leading brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Fujitsu
- NICEIC approved electrical contractors

When to call us in Hempstead
How often a system needs servicing depends partly on how hard it works. A system used for heating as well as cooling, or one in a busy workplace, sees far more running hours and so builds up dirt more quickly.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Condensate leaking into the room
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
Clean filters and coils help a system cool better and use less electricity.
Before you book anyone
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
Pricing air conditioning servicing in Hempstead
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- The condition of any existing system
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
