Air conditioning servicing in Lee, Hampshire
Air conditioning servicing in and around Lee, from the first look to the final check with the price fixed before work begins.
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
How the job changes from property to property
Condensate drains and pumps
Where water cannot drain by gravity, a condensate pump lifts it. The pump is tested to make sure it works, because a failed pump is a common reason for drips.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
In most homes, the indoor units are wall-mounted. They open up for the filters, coil and fan to be cleaned and the drain is cleared at the same visit.
Air conditioning servicing in Lee, done properly
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We service systems in Lee and across Hampshire, whatever the make. Typical jobs include systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, across air-to-air heat pumps, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Several units at a home near Lee can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
- File each service record with the manufacturer’s documents
Once we’ve gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If you notice anything unusual, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will look into it.
Don’t ignore small changes. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than after a breakdown.
What a service looks like in Lee
The coast is only about 3 miles from Lee. A yearly service matters more near the coast, where salt speeds up corrosion on coils and fixings. On the National Heritage List, around 6 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Lee; Lee Manor House (grade II) is one. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed. About 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
If you look after a school such as Oasis Academy Lord's Hill, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Do you need air conditioning servicing in Lee?
Filters clog gradually, a little more every day the system runs. Clogged filters choke the airflow, the coil can get too cold and the room takes longer to cool or warm.
Look out for any of the following:
- A unit showing a fault code
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Lee so we arrive with what’s needed.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Readings are taken on the electrics and refrigerant circuit, and the controls are tried in each mode.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Lee
How often do you service systems in Lee?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Will you come out to Lee?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
It takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
A full clean and check of the system. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. 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 holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.
From one of our customers
“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.”
