Air conditioning servicing in Lenham
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. Common call-outs are for iced-up coils or pipework and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, on multi-split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems.
Outdoor units around Lenham tend to be close to gardens and hedges, which can clog the outdoor coil. Every service includes cleaning it.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Lenham when you book.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- 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.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Lenham
Systems that run most of the year collect dirt faster than ones used on a few hot days. A system used for heating as well as cooling, or one in a busy workplace, sees far more running hours and so builds up dirt more quickly.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Weaker cooling than last year
- Condensate leaking into the room
If you look after a school such as Lenham Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
Comparing quotes
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
Safe owner checks
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Lenham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Lenham?
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.
Does my air con in Lenham need a yearly service?
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. 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’ll agree what happens next.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer, not by us. Read the conditions for your brand, as they may include servicing, and keep each service record with the warranty paperwork.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
