Questions from Kentish Town
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in Kentish Town?
The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details and photos. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
How often should air conditioning in Kentish Town be serviced?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
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.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How long does the visit take?
That depends on what’s involved, but as a guide it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. We will give you a firmer idea when we quote.
Air conditioning servicing in Kentish Town
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. Each brand sets its own terms, and we can explain what yours says. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. If you are dealing with an unpleasant odour when the system runs and new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit, we can help.
In Kentish Town, the outdoor unit can be on a balcony, a roof or a rear wall, so let us know how to get to it. If the building has a managing agent, we can book in with them.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Different systems, different jobs
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 read the charge from the unit’s label and work it out for you.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Wall-mounted units are the most common indoor unit in homes. They open up for the filters, coil and fan to be cleaned, and the drain is checked at the same time.
How the visit works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Let us know who controls access to the building in Kentish Town, as that saves time on the day.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- 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
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then phone 07833 053749.

How we price air conditioning servicing
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The condition of any existing system
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep plants, bins and stored items away from the outdoor unit
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
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 the service history is in one place.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. On many wall-mounted units, the filters lift out easily and the user manual explains how often.
