Air Conditioning Servicing in Rake
Looking for air conditioning servicing in Rake? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around you, then sign it off with written records.
- Iced-up coils or pipework
- Air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did
- No service record for the last year or more
How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. For a village like Rake, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that is been bothering you.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a price
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, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Air conditioning servicing in Rake
Some systems need F-gas leak checks by law, and some don’t. 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 tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. Typical jobs include new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit and warning lights on the indoor unit, across ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
We plan the trip to Rake and can service more than one unit in one visit.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Rake
Does my air con in Rake need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you cover smaller places like Rake?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
The requirement starts at 5 tCO2e. Plenty of small splits sit under it, as 3 kg of R32 works out at about 2.0 tCO2e. We read the charge from the label and work it out for you.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance plus a leak check on systems that need one.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Keeping systems in Rake running
The Sun Inn, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 4 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Rake’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. About 71% 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.
For a school like Rake CofE Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

What we’re called out for in Rake
When the system cools, water condenses on the indoor coil. Dust sticks to a wet surface, and over time the coil and drain tray can get dirty enough to smell.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- A service that is overdue
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
If you cannot remember the last service, it’s probably due.

Let and managed properties
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
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.”
