About our air conditioning servicing in Horspath
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some do not. 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. The work covers multi-split systems, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are a service that’s overdue and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit.
Around Horspath, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

FAQs for Horspath
Will you come out to Horspath?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Horspath in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Horspath is within the area we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. You get a record of the visit.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
That is down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed, and we can explain what your brand asks for.
How do you keep the place clean during the 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.
What a service looks like in Horspath
The last census (2021) found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. About 15 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Horspath, Church of St Giles (grade II*) among them. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. Schools such as Horspath Church of England Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Why deal with it now?
Smells from an indoor unit tend to come back each time it runs. The cure is cleaning where the dirt has built up, rather than masking it. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Why us?
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote
- A reply the same working day
- Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba and more
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns

Managing agents and facilities teams in Horspath
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Horspath.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- 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.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so you have the whole history together.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. A pipe that’s been knocked or covered can back up into the indoor unit.
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.”
