Air Conditioning Servicing in High Ongar
Our engineers work in High Ongar on annual servicing and F-Gas leak checks for domestic and commercial air conditioning. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- Weaker cooling than last year
How the visit works
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. For a village like High Ongar, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Related advice
Air conditioning servicing in High Ongar, done properly
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. Servicing removes it, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. We are often asked to deal with frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes and water dripping from the indoor unit, on ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems.
We plan the trip to High Ongar and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
High Ongar questions
Can you do air conditioning servicing in High Ongar?
Yes. High Ongar is one of the places we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
How often should air conditioning in High Ongar be serviced?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
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.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
System by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
tCO2e is the refrigerant charge in kg multiplied by its global warming potential, divided by 1,000. So 3 kg of R32 is roughly 2.0 tCO2e, and the same amount of R410A is roughly 6.3 tCO2e. We check the label on your system and tell you where it sits.
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.
Keeping systems in High Ongar running
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central High Ongar, you reach the High Ongar Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 13 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary the Virgin (grade I). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. Census 2021 figures found about 87% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
For a school like High Ongar Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term. A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.
