Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:

- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Air conditioning servicing in Kingston by Sea, done properly
Maintenance contracts suit anyone who would rather not have to remember when the next service is due. The visits, the scope and the cost are fixed with your quote, so the system is looked after on a regular schedule. Common call-outs are for an unpleasant odour when the system runs and no service record for the last year or more, across ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
A yearly service suits most systems around Kingston by Sea, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Questions from Kingston by Sea
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Kingston by Sea?
It can. Kingston by Sea is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Is Kingston by Sea within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
What does an annual air con service cost?
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT. We confirm the exact figure before we book the visit and bigger systems are priced once we know what’s installed.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
A typical service takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time, and we will tell you in advance.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
After we have gone
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
- Book the service at least once a year
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.
Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow and should be moved away.

How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. 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. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Kingston by Sea.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
