Common questions in Newbury
Is Newbury in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Newbury is within the area we cover. Just phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
How do I get a quote for air conditioning servicing in Newbury?
The easiest way is to call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details and photos. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. The price is fixed with your quote, and each visit is recorded.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
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 for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
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 tell you what to do first.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Newbury
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some do not. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. Common call-outs are for systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit, on ducted systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
In a town like Newbury, most servicing is for home systems, with offices and shops too. Once a year suits most homes, more often for busy commercial systems.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

The process
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Most visits to homes in Newbury are booked for a weekday, with businesses fitted around trading.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Related advice
Owner checks or an engineer?
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
After we’ve gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Do not wait for a small drip to become a leak
Put the next service in the diary straight away. Spring suits systems used mainly for cooling, and autumn suits those used for heating, though any time of year works.
Do not ignore small changes. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than once the system has stopped.
What affects the quote in Newbury
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it

Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 168 within half a mile of the centre, such as Parish Church of St Nicolas (grade I). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. About 40% of homes in and around Newbury have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned.
