Air conditioning servicing in Orpington, done properly
People in Orpington book a service for all sorts of 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. Typical jobs include humming, rattling or squealing from the system and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit, across wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems.
Systems in Orpington often run in both summer and winter, which is a good reason for a yearly service. In London, outdoor coils collect dust, grime and leaves, and a clean coil cools better.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Servicing in Orpington: local notes
VOA council tax data show about 39% of homes in and around Orpington date from 1919 to 1939, and about 64% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. London outdoor units collect city dust and grime, so the outdoor coil gets particular attention on a service. The Priory, Orpington Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Orpington. There are 5 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Orpington. Church of All Saints, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 10 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Orpington’s centre. 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.

Pricing air conditioning servicing in Orpington
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The size of the job
- How easy the units are to reach
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 any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your installation or service records
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. In a London area like Orpington, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a price
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Orpington
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. That moisture traps dust, and a dirty coil and drain tray are a common source of musty smells.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
Site managers at schools like Perry Hall Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
What your quote should include
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Parts that have failed and need replacing
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
