System by system
Fans and electrics
We look at the wiring and terminals for anything loose or discoloured. Loose connections can cause faults that come and go, so this matters.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ducted units sit out of sight in ceiling voids. Servicing means reaching the unit through an access hatch, so let us know where the hatch is.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Piddinghoe
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. If you are dealing with no service record for the last year or more and humming, rattling or squealing from the system, we can sort it out.
Around Piddinghoe, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Questions from Piddinghoe
How often do you service systems in Piddinghoe?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you cover smaller places like Piddinghoe?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
A service doesn’t include adding refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that’s short of gas has a leak. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
The GOV.UK rules set leak checks at least every 12 months for 5 to under 50 tCO2e and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled, and we can tell you where your system sits.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Air conditioning servicing in Piddinghoe: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from Piddinghoe. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. Central Piddinghoe is inside the Piddinghoe Conservation Area. In the mile around Piddinghoe’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. The Parish Church of St John, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 15 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Piddinghoe’s centre. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
For a school like Breakwater Academy, maintenance visits can be booked out of term. A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Leave the units and pipework where they are. 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.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: 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.
The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Somewhere like Piddinghoe, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- 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
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many units are involved
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
From one of our customers
“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.”
