How we handle air conditioning servicing in Ratling
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours, and we can explain what yours says. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. If the problem is a system that struggles to cool on warm days and condensate leaking into the room, we can help.
Around Ratling, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly service clears them.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Ratling
Is Ratling in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Ratling falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How often should air conditioning in Ratling be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. The number of indoor units and how easy they are to reach make the biggest difference, and we’ll give you an idea when we book.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, for homes and businesses. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote and the servicing happens on time.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Rinse the indoor unit filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Book the service at least once a year
When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so the service history is in one place.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse, and the manual shows how.
What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
With a ducted system, the unit is hidden above the ceiling. We need access to the unit, its filters and its drain, so let us know where the hatch is.
Maintenance contracts
With a contract, the number of visits, the scope and the cost are agreed in writing, fixed with your quote. It suits homes and businesses alike.
Why deal with it now?
A service can find a worn part or a loose connection while the system is still running. Waiting until the unit stops means dealing with it on the hottest day of the year. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. For a place like Ratling, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
