Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. Site managers at schools like Sauncey Wood Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Common questions in Mackerye End
Is Mackerye End in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Mackerye End is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How often do you service systems in Mackerye End?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
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 are also Checkatrade members.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- VRF systems
What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system, and we clear up before we go. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Mackerye End easier.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. 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.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning servicing in Mackerye End
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What to send for a quote
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
