- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit

After we’ve gone
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
Any fault we find is explained, with a fixed price for the repair. Nothing extra is done without your say-so, so you stay in control of the cost.
The single most useful thing you can do is keep the filters clean. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse and the user manual explains how often.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Postling
People in Postling 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’s overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. If you’re dealing with humming, rattling or squealing from the system and systems that haven’t been serviced for a while, we can sort it out.
Around Postling, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Postling questions
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Postling?
It can, as Postling 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.
Will you come out to Postling?
Yes. Postling is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of system it is
- The pipe route between the units
- How easy the units are to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Before you get in touch
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
What a service looks like in Postling
At about 3 miles from the coast, Postling is close enough for sea air to matter. A yearly service matters more near the coast, where salt speeds up corrosion on coils and fixings. Postling’s centre falls inside the Postling Conservation Area. Church of St Mary and St Radegund, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 7 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Postling’s centre. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more. Schools such as Brockhill Park Performing Arts College can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Why act early in Postling
Faults found on a service can often be put right before they cause a breakdown. Left alone, the same fault tends to show itself when you most need the system. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.

What else we do in Postling
What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. For a village like Postling, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- 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
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
