Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Herne Bay
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. We’re often asked to deal with frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, across wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.
We clean the filters and coils, clear the drain and check the outdoor unit and electrics on a service in Herne Bay, and we finish by testing the temperatures and checking for leaks.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How we price air conditioning servicing
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- How many units are involved
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Herne Bay questions
Is Herne Bay in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Herne Bay falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Herne Bay?
It can, as Herne Bay is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
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.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again and that’s money wasted.
Can you come out in an emergency?
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’ll agree what happens next.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Photos of an existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing in Herne Bay.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Servicing in Herne Bay: local notes
Herne Bay lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. Herne Bay’s centre falls inside the Herne Bay Conservation Area. In the mile around Herne Bay’s centre, 4 conservation areas have been designated. Queen's Head Public House, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 31 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Herne Bay’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference.

Balcony, roof or high wall? Knowing where a flat’s outdoor unit is helps us bring the right access kit.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Herne Bay
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
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.
What a customer said
“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.”
