Common questions in Holbury
How often do you service systems in Holbury?
Normally 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.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Holbury?
It can. Holbury is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. 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 have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance with leak checks where the rules require them.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
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 servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Check your brand’s conditions, which may mention servicing and file every service record.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Holbury
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Dust, fluff and anything else in the air ends up on those parts. A service clears it away, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. Common call-outs are for leak check records that need bringing up to date and warning lights on the indoor unit, on multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems.
A yearly service suits most systems around Holbury, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Visits to a place like Holbury are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Faults found on a service can often be put right before they cause a breakdown. Waiting until the unit stops means dealing with it on the hottest day of the year. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk for straight advice and a fixed price.

What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How many units are involved
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- 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. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Common problems we fix in Holbury
Systems that run most of the year collect dirt faster than ones used on a few hot days. 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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Weaker cooling than last year
- Condensate leaking into the room
- F-gas leak checks falling due
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.
What your quote should include
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
Keeping systems in Holbury running
Holbury lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. About 50% of homes in the Holbury area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 68% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
If you look after a school such as Cadland Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
