Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Hound
For an annual service, the price is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. If the problem is humming, rattling or squealing from the system and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, we can sort it out.
Several units at a home near Hound can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Keeping systems in Hound running
The coast is only about 1 mile from Hound. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. In the mile around Hound’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Church of St Mary, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 7 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hound’s centre. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Schools such as The Hamble School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Hound
Will you come out to Hound?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How often should air conditioning in Hound be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
The service checks how the refrigerant circuit is performing, but doesn’t include adding gas. If it’s low, a leak repair comes first and the regas follows, priced before work begins.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
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 electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Hound.
- When you book, we ask what make it is, how many rooms it serves and whether anything seems wrong.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Before we arrive
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
How to get a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, 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, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Hound
Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, dirt and debris collect on the coil and around the casing and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
- No service record for the last year or more
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
If you run premises near Netley station, ask about servicing several units in one visit.
Comparing quotes
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
After we’ve gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. We do not carry out extra work until you’ve agreed it and the decision is always yours.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that is normally back towards the indoor unit.
A customer’s words
“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.”
