Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Rodmell
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. The visits, the scope and the cost are fixed with your quote, and the servicing happens on schedule. If the problem is no service record for the last year or more and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, we can help.
We plan the trip to Rodmell and can service more than one unit in one visit, which keeps it simple.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

When to call us in Rodmell
When the system cools, water condenses on the indoor coil. That moisture traps dust, and a dirty coil and drain tray are a common source of musty smells.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
- Iced-up coils or pipework
- Weaker cooling than last year
For a school like Priory School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
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 cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Keeping systems in Rodmell running
Census 2021 figures 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. The Rodmell Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Rodmell. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Rodmell and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 33 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Parish Church of St Peter (grade I). 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.
If you run premises near Southease station, ask about servicing several units in one visit.

Different systems, different jobs
Indoor and outdoor coils
The indoor coil is where the air is cooled or warmed. We clean it so air can pass through the fins and heat can pass in and out and any damage is noted.
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Ceiling cassettes are common in offices, shops and restaurants. The grille drops down for the filters, and the drain and pump are checked inside.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system, and we tidy up before we leave. For a place like Rodmell, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Rodmell questions
Is Rodmell within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does my air con in Rodmell need a yearly service?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
A typical service takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time and we’ll let you know before the visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
That’s down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. Where servicing is a condition, keeping an annual service record helps show the terms were followed, and we can explain what your brand asks for.
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.”
