Air con servicing in Roundshaw
Air conditioning servicing, for Roundshaw and the surrounding area. Call for a fixed-price quote; we reply the same working day.
- A musty or damp smell when the unit starts
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Roundshaw
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Dust, fluff and anything else in the air ends up on those parts. Servicing removes it, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. Typical jobs include no service record for the last year or more and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, on ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a flat or office in Roundshaw, tell us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it, as that affects how long the service takes. If the building has a managing agent, we can book in with them.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Keeping systems in Roundshaw running

Balcony, roof or high wall? Knowing where a flat’s outdoor unit is helps us bring the right access kit. In London, a yearly clean of the outdoor coil makes a real difference to how well a system cools. The centre of Roundshaw lies within a conservation area. In the mile around Roundshaw’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. 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.

Common questions in Roundshaw
How often should air conditioning in Roundshaw be serviced?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is Roundshaw in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Roundshaw is one of the places we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few photos.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. 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.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. A service record follows.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Roundshaw.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Before we arrive

Advice
System by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
tCO2e is the refrigerant charge in kg multiplied by its global warming potential, divided by 1,000. So 3 kg of R32 is roughly 2.0 tCO2e, and the same amount of R410A is roughly 6.3 tCO2e. We read the charge from the unit’s label and work it out for you.
Condensate drains and pumps
Cooling pulls moisture out of the air, and that water has to drain away. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so it flows properly.

What else we do in Roundshaw
Why deal with it now?
A musty smell from the system is rarely something that clears on its own. Cleaning the coil, the fan and the drain tray deals with the cause, rather than masking it. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in Roundshaw early.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
