Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Ivy Chimneys
How often should air conditioning in Ivy Chimneys be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Do you cover smaller places like Ivy Chimneys?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What does an air con service involve?
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, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Air conditioning servicing in Ivy Chimneys
A service is as much a check-up as a clean. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about a service that’s overdue and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes.
In a village like Ivy Chimneys, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

How it works
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 we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Ivy Chimneys.
- 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.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Report drips, smells or noises early
When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, with the checks carried out and anything we’d recommend. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so the service history is in one place.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.
What we’re called out for in Ivy Chimneys
Condensate has to drain away from every indoor unit. Debris in the tray or a sticky pump can stop it draining and the result is drips from the indoor unit.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- No service record for the last year or more
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

Let and managed properties
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
