Air conditioning servicing in Lower Stoke, 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 Lower Stoke and across Medway, for most leading brands. If the problem is water dripping from the indoor unit and weaker cooling than last year, we can sort it out.
Around Lower Stoke, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Questions from Lower Stoke
Is Lower Stoke within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does my air con in Lower Stoke need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. You get a record of the visit.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
Only if the system is at or above the threshold of 5 tCO2e. Many small split systems fall below it: 3 kg of R32, for example, is about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.

What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Lower Stoke.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- 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.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

What we’re called out for in Lower Stoke
Dust settles on the filters every time the unit is on. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the unit has to work harder to reach the set temperature.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
- Systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check
If you look after a school such as Stoke Primary Academy, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted

- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Hold on to every service report
- Check the condensate pipe outside is not blocked or crushed
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If you notice anything unusual, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will look into it.
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.
