Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Air conditioning servicing in Old Heath, done properly
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. Servicing removes it, letting air pass through the unit properly and the condensate drain away. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are water dripping from the indoor unit and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check.
For most homes near Old Heath, a service once a year keeps the system efficient and the filters clean, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What a service looks like in Old Heath
The coast is only about 3 miles from Old Heath. Salt air settles on outdoor coils, so coastal systems benefit from regular servicing. There are 3 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Old Heath. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Cannock Mill (grade II). Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. For a school like Old Heath Community Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

What owners can safely do
Do not 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 electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Old Heath questions
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Old Heath?
It can, as Old Heath is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Does my air con in Old Heath 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.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, for homes and businesses. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote, so servicing and any required leak checks stay on schedule.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Old Heath and across Essex. Let us know who the records should go to.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How it works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. We plan the visit to Old Heath from the survey or your pictures.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
How to get a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

Maintenance contracts
For businesses, a contract keeps servicing and any required leak checks on schedule, with records kept for each visit.
Condensate drains and pumps
When the system cools, every indoor unit makes water. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so it flows properly.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
