About our air conditioning servicing in Pitchcott
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. Common call-outs are for systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, on multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
For a home in or near Pitchcott, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

FAQs for Pitchcott
Do you cover Pitchcott for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Pitchcott is part of that. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Does my air con in Pitchcott need a yearly service?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.

What else we do in Pitchcott
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ducted systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
- VRF systems
Rented and managed buildings
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Air conditioning servicing in Pitchcott: the local picture
Church of St. Giles, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 3 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Pitchcott’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 38% of homes in the Pitchcott area were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
Schools such as Whitchurch Combined School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty. If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due.

How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Pitchcott can be planned properly.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
